Ze Health Topics By F. B. Schooley, M. D. — a Nutrition The average American diet has no great margin of safety and a de- ficiency in dietary essentials is found in a large proportion. Our diets are more deficient than the less refined foods that were con- sumed a century ago. A comparison of our present diet with one of na- tural foods of the same total cai- oric value shows a definite defi- ciency of our present diet mn vita- mins and minerals. The greater use of less refined foods and increased use of the protective foods will re- sult in better nutrition. Calcium, protein and vitamin D are three nutritional essentials in childhood. Vitamin D is needed early by all babies, whether breast fed or artificially fed. Vitamin. C is needed early by artificially fed babies. The common error in infant feeding is giving too much vitamin D and too little vitamin C and not giving either early encugh. Vitamin D jis required not on. in early in- fancy but throughout the growth period. Focds containing adeqicte protein and calcium are nct taken in sufficient quantity by many ckil- dren. Milk is the only constant food source of calcium. Human milk contains only a bare minimum of most nutritional essentials, and despite all the refinements of arti- ficial feeding, breast feeding re- mains the best procedure. Better nutrition is important as a health measure. Proper diet im- proves the health of the mucous membranes, and makes them more effective as barriers against infec- tion. It improves teeth structure and reduces their liability to decay and infection. It safeguards the health of the nervous system and protects the heart and blood ves- sels against injury caused by bac- terial poisons. Lack of knowledge of the basic principles of nutrition and of how to buy foods economically, and financial inability to buy food for an adequate diet are the principal causes of malnutrition. Nutritional knowledge should be presented as * familiar terms of foodstuffs rather than as chemical factors. Less use of over-refined foods should be ad- vised. Adults with improper dietary habits should be shown that better health results from proper nutri- tion. Adequate nutrition will go far toward reducing the incidence and severity of disease.
