ABOUT ENRICHMENT
AND
FORTIFICATION OF
FOODS
The terms “enrichment”
and “fortification” have
beat part of the food in
dustry for a long time. But
these terms still create
confusion among many
consumers.
The enrichment process
replaces nutrients lost
during the processing and
refining of food. Enrichment
of flour, bread, nee, cereal,
commeal, spaghetti, and
macaroni products refers to
the addition to the B
vitamins (thiamine,
riboflavin and niacin) and
the mineral iron. There is no
need to ennch whole-gram
foods such as whole wheat
bread and flower since they
contain their original
nutnents naturally
Fortification goes a step
beyond ennehment. In this
process, a nutrient is added
that was not originally
present m the food or that
was present in a smaller
amount, such as vitamin D
milk, vitamin A fortified
margarine, iodized salt and
fruit drinks with vitamin C
added. Certain bread and
cereal products are fortified
with extra vitamins and
minerals. Better quality
protein sources are obtained
by fortifying some products
with certain ammmo acids.
In some communities, the
drinking water is fortified
with fluonde. In short,
fortification helps to supply
nutrients that would

otherwise be hard for some
people to get in their regular
diets.
Enrichment and for
tification have both played
an important role in im
proving nutrition m the
Umted States. However, the
federal Food and Drug
Administration does limit
the amount of nutrients that
can be added to foods.
Without limits, food com
panies might compete with
each other to see who could
come up with the most
nutritionally complete
super-food. Such all-purpose
superfoods are not
necessary for people who eat
a variety of nutritious foods.
Be in the know. Read the
label to determine whether a
food is enriched or fortified
and what nutnents have
been added.
SAVE MONEY BY SEWING
Do you really save money
by sewing’ There are so
many variables it’s difficult
to make an accurate com
parison.
The amount you save is
affected by the value you
place on being well dressed.
You can find many inex
pensive ready-to-wear
garments and accessones
But if you want to dress with
distinction and in a style
different from that made for
the mass market, that kind
of style is likely to be ex
pensive to buy. You may
only find it by making your
own clothes.
If you sew, it’s hardly
worth your time to sew on
fabric which will not hold up
well. Use your labor to make
an expensive garment in
stead of an inexpensive one.
You can often save on fabric
by shopping at sales. Most
fabnc shops have seasonal
sales with great deductions.
Ask if you can put your name
on a mailing list for advance
notice of sales.
But, you don’t really save
at sales if you buy more
fabnc than you need just
because the price is reduced.
Fabncs go out of style, too.
Fashion silhouettes dictate
fabric choices, so some of
that stockpile of fabncs you
have on hand may have to
wait until they come in style
again. If your storage space
is limited, you can’t buy too
much. And remember that
time deteriorates certain
fabncs.
There are many ways you
can save by sewing your own
clothes. Buy or make fewer
items. Do a better job of
planning and coordinating
your wardrobe. Plan your
needs then shop with your
needs in mind. Watch style
trends. Don’t stockpile
fabrics that are on their way
out.
You save most on making
children’s clothes and
special occasion clothes such
as evening wear and high
fashion apparel.
Improve your skill in
sewing as well as your
creative skill. Dresses with a
touch of originality often
make the difference between
an ordinary and a garment
withpizzaz.
One of the bit costs m
sewing is for notions. For
example, zippers are ex-
