This the 500th Doctor in the
Kitchen column - a
milestone, to be sure. Not all
have carried my byline. The
column was lanuched by Dr.
W.W. Bauer in November
1965. When he passed away, I
took over, beginning with the
columns in March 1968.
Early in his career, W.W.
Bauer, M.D. served as a
public health officer. Then
he joined the staff of the
American Medical
Association and, as Director
of Health Education and
Editor of the AMA magazine
Today’s Health, extended his
influence to national and
international levels.
It was during his AMA
years that he became one of
the most skilled medical
writers and broadcasters.

2 cups sugar
1 cup tapioca

ounce package of cherry
jello. Follow directions on
the package. Then add to
above mixture when hot.

Doctor
in the Kitchen®
by Laurence M. Hursh, M.D.
Consultant, National Dairy Council
After he retired from AMA
he began this column.
Thinking back to Dr.
Bauer’s days and my early
years with this column
reminds me that nutrition
has come a long way since
then. The studies that
revealed there really is some
hunger in America (a fact so
many people sought to deny
or disregard), the 1969 White
House Conference, The U.S.
Senate Select Committee on
Nutrition and Human Needs,
and now a group of nutrition
organizations known as the
National Nutrition Con
sortium - all these have
helped to make nutrition a
more politically and more
public - health - oriented
subject.
This is as it should be and

1 teaspoon soda

this column is proud of the
part it has played since 1965
in arousing and sustaining
public interest. Good
nutrition can be a potent
force for protecting your
health. It should not be taken
for granted.
Apropos of this, Dr. Bauer,
in his first column for the
week of November 8, 1965,
titled his copy, “The Kitchen
Is a Health Center.” Some
excerpts:
“New knowledge is being
developed all the time by
thousands of nutritional and
clinical research workers,
and reported in more
journals , than ' the
homemaker could possibly
read....
“Many questions arise in
the course of a week’s meal
planning and preparation.
And over the bridge table, or
at the laundromat, many
opinions about food are
expressed, some correct,
some n0t....
“Most people don’t know
the facts. For this reason, I
hope you’ll join the doctor in
the kitchen next week, and
Sift again. Beat thoroughly
after each addition. Pour
into greased layer pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30
minutes. Makes 2-9 inch
layer.
