1. No. In fact, smoking may retard
digestion.
2. Fluorine in water supplies, in
the proper proportions, has been
accepted by dental and public health
authorities as a means of lessening
dental decay. Extra fluorine should
never be taken without a personal
prescription. Too much fluorine
should never be taken without a per
sonal prescription. Too much fluo
rine can cause mottled teeth in
children under twelve.
3. The form of mineral application
to the growing plant makes little
difference in its final mineral con
tent. Plants make use of the mine
rals they need from both chemical
and "natural" sources. After all,
chemical fertilizers are made
from "natural" rock,
h. Experiments conducted to date
seem to show that depleted soil
lessens the quantity of the crop
but not its quality.
5. All persons living in Michigan
need to look to their idodine sup
plies, since the drinking water
and the plants grown in the area
are low in iodine. Iodized salt has
proved to be the most practical me
thod of obtaining the daily supply.
Medicinal iodine should not be ta
ken except under the direction of
a physician.
6. Blackstrap molasses is fairly
rich in minerals - and also in
waste material not intended for
human consumption. Mol.asses is not
a very important source of mineral
in the average diet since so lit
tle of it can be eaten. There are
more satisfactory ways of increa
sing the intake of minerals: use
more fruits, vegetables, meat,
eggs, milk and cheese.
The vegetables themselves are
more nutricious. For example much
of the Vitamin A of carrots would
remain in the sieved portions.
8. No. Foods acquire very little
aluminium, if any, in that way.
Small amounts of alumium are not
toxic to the body. Many natural
foods contain small amo^unts of
aluminium.
9. No, if she follows diections
and timetables carefully. People
who feel ill may be careless.
10. The safest and surest way to
can food, discovered to date, is
the application of heat. The ad
dition of aspirin to fruit does
not- insure keeping. It may prove
harmful to people to some persons
in large quantities.
11. Yes, there is no dangerous
chemical action between the metal
and foods - even sour ones. Foods
will spoil in a few days (or hours)
after opening whether stored in the
can or in some utensil. All opened
cans should be refrigerated.
