Village Squire, 1980-09, Page 15went on to graduate studies in the
department of nutrition at Rutgers
University. During her studies at
Rutgers, Mrs. Gottschall's husband, a
chemical engineer, was transferred to
Ontario, where she decided to complete
her master's degree at the University of
Western Ontario.
She spent a total of 12 years in post
secondary schools, enrolling at the age
of 47, and the information and learning
gained, she said, is all part of the night
course.
In a house not far from the
Gottschalls in a room painted many
colours and papered many patterns, sit
two young children on the laps of two
not so young adults. Their faces, white
in the luminous glow of a new 36 inch
colour television, reflect flashes, a
series of pictures, images and
suggestions, locking new demands and
desires into their subconscious. They
call themselves the average Canadian
family.
In their search for truth, they stare at
the two dimensional images and are told
- "Coke adds life," "Imperial
Margarine is fit for a King," "I learned
to relax and enjoy life more by switching
to Mazola Corn Oil Margarine," and
"Wonder helps build strong bones. '.'
all encouraging them to want, spend
and consume most often without
considering nutrition.
With a look of concern, Mrs.
Gottschall cited as an example the story
of the egg campaign. She finds it
amazing a society, raised on knowledge
of an egg's nutritional purity, could so
easily be convinced daily consumption
is harmful.
"The cholesterol scare is over and
now you'll notice how all those who
promoted it have faded into the
woodwork" she said, sitting at a desk
in the study of their farmhouse.
"Advertisers tell us to eat margarine
instead of butter. Butter is much better
for us than margarine. People are in the
business to make money."
"Let the buyer beware", she added
with a gentle smile.
She said it's time we start looking at
foods with a more wholistic approach.
She explained foods, or a lack of foods
with certain nutrients and vitamins, can
sometimes cause behavioral problems
attributed to other physical causes.
"We each have about 2 billion cells in
the brain that are so sensitive to
nturients, if there is any deficiency, it
will show up in behavior."
DEFICIENCY
Nervous problems and paranoia, she
said, are two examples of a behavioral
problem, attributed to a vitamin B
deficiency.

B complex family, required for energy
for the cells. If you ate only refined
foods, you would become niacin de-
ficient," she said.
She warns that if the deficiency is
severe enough it will affect every cell in
the body starting with the more
sensitive skin and intestinal cells that
are replenished often.
"There are probably substances in
foods that have been serving a purpose
over the years that we are not ever
aware of until we drifted away from
them."
Before technology swept nomadic
man from his tents and herds, his diet
consisted primarily of nuts and berries
he was able to gather.
Mrs. Gottschall says research has
shown man was consuming small
amounts of cyanide, found in almonds
and other nuts. She explains this small
amount of cyanide may have killed off
cancerous cells before they spread, but
that, she said, is only a theory.
Mrs. Gottschall stressed that there is
no one answer to the nutritional
problems facing today's Canadian
family, but, education would be a
beginning. She said as a nutritionist,
she wants to work with doctors, not
against them, to educate the public
about what she labels, "beautiful
biology."
