CONVECTION OVENS
GOOD FOOD
DRYING APPLIANCE
If you are thinking about
investing in a food
dehydrator to dry this year’s
bounty from the garden
consider your options.
Food dehydrators are
expensive, single use ap
pliances. For very little
more money, you can pur
chase a countertop con
vection oven with drying
racks and have a multi-use
piece of equipment. Con
vection ovens differ from
conventional ovens in that
they have a fan in the
cooking cavity that provides
forced circulation of air as it
is being heated Just as the
“wind chill factor” means
that the air seems colder
than it really is, the cir
culating air in the convection
oven seems warmer.
As a result foods cook
more evenly and faster at
lower temperatures. A study
is being conducted at Penn
State of the energy costs of
cooking appliances and it
has shown that drying foods
m convection ovens is also
faster and more even A full
load of apple slices will dry
in about three hours, com
pared with eight to 24 hours
in a conventional dryer.
The study is not yet
complete but it has shown
that convection ovens in
these tests have used about
half the energy of a con-

BE A WISE
HEALTH CONSUMER
Don’t let yourself get
taken by consumer fraud
and quackery. Studies have
shown that the elderly in the
United States are clearly the
major victims of the modem
medicine man’s organized
high pressure techniques.
The three major types of
medical quackery that the
elderly are susceptible to are
nutritional quackery, drug
quacsery, and “miracle”
cures for the chronic
diseases.
Nutritional quackery
The vast majority of com
mercially sold vitamins and
minerals contain elements
not needed in human
nutrition or not needed if a
balanced diet is eaten.
Laxatives are another
questionable product. Many
times advertisements are
geared toward the elderly
Laxatives should be used in
minimal doses and not be
self-prescnbed. You should
be careful not to use them
excessively, because they
may cause the digestive
system to become “lazy”
and dependent on the
laxatives to stimulate
eliminations.
Drug quackery Beware
of products claiming to
restore your vitality, sexual
potency, your hair, or
removed wrinkles and aging
spots.
The need for prescription
medication may Leave you
vulnerable to the generic
versus brand name con
troversy. Many times a
brand name drug will cost
ten or fifteen tunes more
than a non-brand name
equivalent.
Don’t forget that despite
giant advertising campaigns
for major brand names, all
aspirins are about the same
You might as well purchase
the cheapest brand of
aspirin.
Cures for chrome disease
Beware of quacks who
offer quick “miracle” cures
