By Desiree VIVO*
Indulging in sugary sweets is
nothing' new. Ancient Persians
blended honey, spices and a cel%
tain variety of sweet reed to make
a delicacy known as kande And not
far away, Arabian .confectioners
combined sugar with gum arabic
to make quand! From these two
words comes, our own English
"candy" ® and we all know how
good for you it is. Too much .of the
stuff can , give you a mouth Ng of
cavities and unwanted acreage
around the waist and hips. Nutri-
tionally, most of it is worthless:
And that's what we traditionally
give to- the ones we love the most
dearly on Valentine's Day. Makes
a lot of sense, doesn't it?
So candy isn'tgood for your
teeth or your figure, and it won't
help you grow up big and strong.
It's loaded with fat and sugar, but
that's why it tastes so good, and
why we all love it so much. I':ve
tried sugarless candies, and some
of them are palatable, but none
can compare to a gooey mouthful
of chocolate fudge or a bonbon
with a nutty nougat center. What
is good for you?Carrots and broc-
coliand spinach and prunes and
oatmeal and wheat germ. But try
giving your beloved a heart -
shaped boxful of these for Valen-
tine's Day, and see what kind of
reaction you get.
"But darling, they're good for
you. Think of all the vitamins and
fiber."
"I don't care .® I wanted choco-
late!" .,
