The answer is an unquestionable NO! Nutritionists would be the first people to celebrate if EXPIRES MAY 31 ' You Heard? By Doris Thomas there was such a substance people could eat to melt away excess calories. But there just simply is no such food. You’ve probably heard such myths as “water can flush away calories,” “grapefruit can bum up calories as you eat them” or that “special fruit drink and bulky fiber diets can literally help you lose weight by-the hour.” The hard fact is that no food or specific nutrient Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 1.1976 can neutralize the effects of calories. Any food you eat is first digested, and then the nutrients from that food are absorbed into the body that includes calories. Cellulose is the only food substance the human body cannot digest. Therefore, cellulose doesn’t provide humans with calories. Cellulose is found in celery and leafy vegetables, which are also high in water con tent. Water doesn’t contain 'any calories either. But neither cellulose nor water can keep your body from absorbing the energy or calorie value from the other foods eaten. The next time you read or hear about a new diet myth —that there is a diet that can help bum up calories as you eat BEWARE! Remember, there, is NO magic food substance that can bum up excess calories. Safety of Accidentally Thawed Food Meat, fish, poultry or combinations of these foods when accidentally thawed have a far greater risk of causing food poisoning than fruits and vegetables. Two factors tem perature and time are important as to whether accidentally thawed meat, fish, or poultry are safe to eat. These two factors also apply to meat that is thawed and then not cooked. Food that registers 40 degrees F or below is generally con sidered safe. If the food contains ice crystals it is usually safe for cooking or refreezing. But don’t expect the quality it had before thawing. It should be cooked and eaten as soon as possible. If the food has an odor before or during cooking, spoilage has set in. It is proven that spoilage bac teria can grow at a tem perature of 40 degrees F but the rate of growth is very slow. It is when foods are at a temperature above 40 degrees F for a few hours that risk of poisoning sets in. Bacterial growth may double every 15 or 30 minutes in warmer temperatures. The two types of bacteria responsible for most food poisoning are Salmonella and Staphlococcus Aureus. Salmonella can be destroyed by cooking food to an in ternal temperature of 165 degrees F. Staphlococcus Aureus is NOT destroyed by the normal heat used in preparing food for meals. To be on the safe side, keep food below 40 degrees F to prevent bacterial growth. Today’s household items are tomorrow’s antiques and your teakettle could one day fall into this classification. Researchers at Kitchen Aid appliances report many homemakers are turning to the company’s Hot-water Dispenser as a practical alternative to the familiar teakettle. The dispenser instantly provides up to 190 degrees water for everything from instant coffee, warming baby bottles, gelatin, thawing frozen foods and boiling eggs to making gravy, hot chocolate, soups and even cool, warm weather beverages that require a hot liquid first. 47
