Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Fasting Is not a good way to lose weight. In the first
few days of the fast, half the weight you lose is
muscle. The energy boost that fasters claim to have
Is due to the fact that energy for digestion is not be -
Ing used so yoU do have extra... temporarily.

osis. Astronauts suffer from rapid bone Toss in space. Mercke Pharma-
ceuticals Is studying this phenomenon and trying to stop thisloss with a
new drug. It should help millions suffering from osteoporosis and save
millions of dollars in treating fractures resulting from this disease.
The average person consumes about 1/3 Ib of sugar daily... much of it
hidden in processed foods. Read those labels carefully and check for in-
gredients like sucrose, lactose, fructose, maltose, dextrose and glu-
cose. All those "-ose" words refer to sugars.
