If summer growth has sent
houseplants sprawling, they
should either be supported
more or trimmed and cut
back. If there is room, and
the extra growth can be
managed, perhaps a wise
choice is to give it extra
support, says Robert Nuss,

reservations and concern
were signed by NDC
President M.F. Brink, Ph.-
D., after approval by NDC’s
Board of Directors. The
Board met in Chicago

home. And they’re made of a
metal that will not harm
plants. Do not use wires of
metal such as copper or
those with galvanized sur
faces. They may deposit
metals into the soil that will
harm the plants.
Trellis support made of
plastic will also not harm the
plant. And woods of all sorts
can be used - from finished
pieces to sturdy driftwood
and other natural branches.
When arranging vines over
these supports don’t worry
with Fall 1975 meetings of
the United Dairy Industry
Association, the American
Dairy Association, and
Dairy Research, Inc.
In particular, said NDC’s
comments, the “definition of
•advertisement' or ‘ad
vertising’ should be worded
so as to exclude nutrition
education materials." NDC
emphasized that NDC
nutrition education
materials, for example, are
reviewed prior to printing
and distribution by
professionals within and
outside of Dairy Council, and
that these materials are used
in education to help equip
consumers to make wise
food choices, not to promote
particular brand-name
products "for the direct
commercial benefit of the
advertiser."
NDC also took exception to
a section of the TRR con
cerned with "emphatic
nutrition claims,” saying,
“The 35 percent of U.S. RDA
about facing the leaves the
right direction. The plant
will take care of that itself as
the leaves gradually turn out
to face the light.
The Extension hor
ticulturist says if a plant
needs trimmed or shaped,
don’t be afraid to trim just as
an outdoor plant would be
trimmed. But be sure to cut
with absolutely clean
pruning shears or a knife.
Disease can be spread with
blades that are coated with
months of cutting.
too harsh
per serving threshold level is
far too high for making
emphatic nutrition claims
... The threshold ... should
be lowered to 25 percent...
For milk, this would allow
‘emphatic claims' to be
made for riboflavin,
calcium, and vitamin D
when added. Milk is
traditionally cited as a ‘good’
source of these nutrients. If
the proposed TRR were to be
adopted, an emphatic claim
could not be made for any
nutrient in milk."
According to Dr. Brink,
one of the major problems
with the proposed TRR is the
concept that a food be judged
for its contribution to the
U S. RDA on a usual portion
basis (for milk - one glass).
By comparison, the Food
and Drug Administration’s
Nutrition Labeling
Regulations recognize that
many foods are usually
consumed several times a
day and thus their con
tribution to the U.S, RDA
(which are daily recom
mendations) should be
judged accordingly.
Among its comments,
NDC also took exception to
FTC’s concept that foods
may be judged as
“nutritionally equivalent,”
Said NDC: “No two foods are
‘nutritionally equiva
lent’ to one another.”
Foods may be similar as
good sources of the same
nutrients, but differences
