Vitamin C can reduce
SOUTHAMPTON - Cold
weather often means that flu
or colds come by and stay
awhile. While these problem
ailments are hardly
preventable this time of
year, the seventy of their
symptoms can be lessened,
according to Dairy Council
Inc.
One way to lessen colds
seventy is by understanding
the role vitamin C (ascorbic
acid) plays in the protection
of the body agamst in
fections.
This vitamin plays a
primary part in the for
mation and maintenance of a
substance called collagen,
which binds body cells
together. This substance is
important for the growth and
repair of body tissue cells,
for health gums and blood,
and for sound bones and
teeth.
It is known to reduce colds
symptoms by blocking the
action of histamine.
However, there is in
sufficient scientific evidence
to substantiate reports that
large intakes of vitamin C
will prevent the onset of
colds.
Vitamin C, says Dairy
Council, is a water-soluble
vitamin and thus is not
stored in the body. Amounts
over and above that which
are needed by the body are
usually excreted. This is why
good food sources of the
vitamin need to be eaten
each day
Because vitamin C is not
stored in the body does not
mean, however, that large
doses will do twice the
amount of good. On the
contrary, excessive intake
can have harmful affects on
diabetics or cause the for
mation of kidney stones or
diarrhea.
In order for foods con
taining vitamin C to retain
their nutritive value, they
should be used as soon as
possible, kept refrigerated
or frozen, and cooked
quickly in small amounts of
liquid or steamed

Some fruits and

to comment
on examination
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
State governments have a
chance to say whether they
would like to assume
responsibility for examining
federally-licensed warehou
ses and whether they want to
take part in a model
program for giving states
that responsibility, a U.S.
Department of Agriculture
official said.
Barbara Lindemann
Schlei, adminstrator of the
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service, said the

Schlei said farmers who

accurate records are kept.
They also check to be sure
the warehouse is free from
mold, insects or excessive
moisture that could damage
commodities stored inside.
If the states assume
responsibility for the
examinations, state em
ployees, instead of USDA
employees, will examine
warehouses under federal
supervision and will use
federal guidelines. The
USDA would be responsible
for issuing licenses and
taking corrective action if
any warehouses are found
not complymg with the
regulations.
States interested in
starting new warehouse
examination programs also
can request help from the
USDA, Schlei said.
All comments, to be
available for public in

Orval Kerchner, Warehouse
Division, Agricultural
Marketing Service, USDA,
Washington, D.C. 20250. Or,
phone 202/447-3821. States
and individuals have until
May 12 to submit comments.
Notice of the request for
comments was published in
the Federal Register March
