This will be the main message given at a nutrition seminar at Huronview on March 28 at 7:30 p.m. 'Sponsored by the Huron County Nutrition Committee, the seminar is being held in conjunction with national nutrition month Guest speaker Karen Kennedy, a consultant with the Educational Services, Health Promotion Branch of Health and Canada Welfare will discuss food facts and fallacies. The theme of nutrition month is to create an awareness of both the need for reliable information for Canadians and the resources available to meet that need. Nutrition month is organized by the Canadian Dietetic Association. Consumers are particularly susceptible to fallacies about food and nutrition, because of their growing awareness of the role that nutrition.plus in promoting health and their • . to ability to keep pace wtth, the deluge 'total and untested nutritional iegetirck. Meof the kilages.*Illeh have r existed and eantiatie to bepopularregard weight loss: and nutrients.- LebingWeight There are no miracle diets or diet plans for people to lose 'weight and maintain their weight loss On a longterm basis. The only satisfactory-treatnaent- for obesity is lifelong change in patterns of food intake and physical activity and- other lifestyle obanges. 4 Currently there are about 100 easy weight reduction and meal replacement diet plans RR the Canadian market. Often, the attraction of these programs is the inclusion of a "featured" ingredient, such as herbs, bee pollen, or aloe vera. The dietary effect of these ingredients is questionable. In many cases, any weight loss can be ,put down to other factors. Legally, according to the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations of Health and Welfare Canada, these products must contain at least 225 kilocalories per serving. As this is less than most people eat in a meal, energy .restriction and-Uota specific ingredient is the -major contributing factor in --any weight - loss. As well, these products are usually not complete foods. They may lack essential dietary components, namely fibre and certain trace minerals, presenting health hazards if used exclusively over a long period of time. The 'Ontario Milk Marketing Board has developed a_ set of questions as a guide to evaluating diets. Answer "yes" to all of the questions and you are on your way to an effective weight loss program which will provide long-lasting benefirts. 1. Does the diet include a variety of foods you normally eat and enjoy? 2. Does the diet recommend choosing foods each day according to Canada's Food Guide? 3. Does the diet include a variety of foods from all four food groups (no one food or food group is promoted)? 4.

Does the diet recommend increasing physical activity? , Nutrient fallacies Canadians spend millions of dollars on nutrient supplements. Many people consider them replacements for nutrients in foods and therefore safe in any amount. Concern about use of large doses of Vitamin C has grown among health professionals. Since Vitamin C is water soluable, it was considered to be safe in doses in excess of recommended nutrient intakes. However, adverse effects of megadoses of Vitamin C have been reported. They include nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea and kidney stones. Interest in Vitamin A increased with its identification as a possible preventative agent cancer: IrSlisefhifittfin' eaacer is -limited, -however-the role of Vitamin A is stilLnot_clear. Itislinpossible_to direct the vitamin to specific body sites and megadoses may cause extensive liver damage. Research is underway with the use of derivatives of Vitamin A which are less toxic than the natural vitamin and appear to be more promising for use in cancer research and treatment. Vitamin has been highly tonted_as preventing or curing a number of disorders, including heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and skin problems. The most popular claims • for Vitamin E are related to its positive effect on virility. In Canada, cases of Vitamin E deficiency are rare, as is evidence that Vitamin E is useful in treating various disorders. Those interested in their health and good nutrition can learn more about food facts and fallacies at the March 28 seminar. The evening session will include discussion on subjects such as the use of bee pollen, liquid diets and herbal teas, Old wives tales: Is there any truth ? Old wives tales are little "rules" that mothers pass on to their children who pass them on to their children. They've been around for ages, and we've all heard them since we were kids, but are they really true? Nutrition Services of the -Huron County Health Unit looks at a few of them: , Tale: "An apple p day keeps the doctor away".-. Truth: Not really. Eating an apple every day will not guarantee perfect. health. Ap7 ples are not extremely high in any of the .essentiaLimtrients-B_ut _they are low .iij calories and make a good snack or dessert. Tale: "Eating spinach will make you strong." Truth: Spinach; Popeye's favourite wonder -food, is very nutriticius, providing lots of folic add, Vitamin A and fibre. However, it is relatively low in calories and So will not provide much energy, nor give you PoPeye-like muscles. (Of course, we needn't tell the kids this when we serve spinach and upturned noses.) While there is a lot of calcium and iron in it, too, absorp- tion of these nutrients is reduced by the phytates and oxalates present. . Tale: "Brown eggs are more nutritious than white eggs". Truth: The color of the shell of an egg has no bearing on the nutritional value of the egg itself. White eggs have the same nutrients as brown eggs; they just come from a different kirid of hen. While we're on the topic of eggs, fertilized eggs are no bet- ter than non -fertilized eggs. Also, the pastel- • 47.

They are laid by Araucana Chickens from Chile, and come in pale green, blue and pink. Tale: "Gelatin makes your nails hard". Truth: Eating or drinking gelatin will not make your nails hard. It was thought that because nails are protein, a drink of protein would improve cracked or soft nails. This is not true. Even if it were true that dietary protein imprOved nails, gelatin would not do the job because it is an inferior type of pro- tein, lacking the amino acid, tryptophan. Tale: "Garlic can cure and prevent in- testinal disorders, infections, and many other maladies". Truth: There is perhaps a grain of truth to this' one. Recent studies by•Dr.'D. Kritchev- sky in Philadelphia are suggesting that garlic can help `lower blood cholesterol, slow the development of atherosclerotic pla- que and inhibit blood coagulation" and thus Help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The big problem is, you need -about half a head of garlic cloves per day/Which is impractical and unsociable. Eating that much garlic may also help -reduce incidence of infectious diseases - no one could get near enough to infect you!! (Note: ,garlic cap- sules don't have enough garlic in. them to have -any effect).- Of course, the more ac- cepted (and acceptable!) way to reduce dietary risk factors for heart disease is to reduce total fats, sugar and salt. Tale: "Honey is more nutritious than white sugar". Truth: Honey does provide a few B vitamins and trace minerals in very small amounts whereas white sugar has none. But to say that honey is nutritious is misleading. You would have to eat 2'2 cups of honey to get as much riboflavin as a cup of milk or 19 cups of honey to get as much calcium as a cup of milk. The only nutrient honey has in significant amounts is simple car- bonhydrate, also known as sugar. tale: "Eat carrots for good vision". Truth -:-There is -a-lot-of truth in -this tale:" Carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A, the vitamin involved in night vision. Ae- tually, carrots are rich in a substance caroteth that will be converted to Vitamin A. By ensuring your diet has, sufficient Vitamin A, your eyes will quickly adjust to the dark after being in bright lights eg. you will be able to see in a dimly lit theatre after being in the brightly lit lobby. Of course, carrots aren't.the only source of Vitamin A., Liver, spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables, apricots and watermelon are also good sources. (Liver is exceptionally -high.) To believe many of the old wives tales may not be harmful, but some may get in the way of wise decisions about your per- sonal health: If you are unsure about an old wives tale or any nutrition claim you hear or see in the media, check with your public health unit for accurate, reliable nutrition information Nutritional needs change with age "What we eat often has a direct relation- , ship Icritow -we led; As- we -mature, proper - eating becomes more of a challenge," says Monica Beaumont, a food and nutrition specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's rural organizations and services branch. Bone loss (osteoporosis), vitamin and mineral deficiencies, overweight and Underweight and constipation are some of the nutritional problems that plague .the wivvtelderly.hitha increasing age, calcium may be dr wn from the bones faster- than it is -replaced, causing brittle, fragile bones. This condition is known as osteoporosis. Increasing calcium intake, restricting protein intake to two to three moderate ser- vings and exercising daily will help to keep the bones in good shape. Excellent sources of calcium are milk and cheese. The elderly tend to have iron, vitamin A and C deficiencies. To obtain these nutrients, • unrefined whole grain cereals, • fresh fruits and vegetables -shouldbe eaten ----------------- Being overweight is a , problem for many mature people. After age 50, the amount of energy used decreases, and the need for calories is reduced; however, the re- quirements for essential nutrients remain the same. To lose weight, select foods from • Canada's Food Guide that ale lower in calories but high in 'nutrients. Being underweight can be just as serious as being overweight. • • , People who are underweight are more susceptible to infection. Underweight people are most' likely not receiving all the essen- tial nutrients they need. To increase weight, select foods high in calories and nutrients, and eat several meals a day. To alleviate constipation include whole grain cereals, fresh.fruits and vegetables in your diet and drink a lot of water. A diet high in fibre can eliininate the need for over- the-counter medication, . and words of encouragement while a patient in Clinton Hospital. Special thanks to Drs.

This happens because the stomach is readjusting itself after years of swallowed saliva, ladened with nicotine and other nerve killing chemicals. An increase in appetite is normal, but an uneasy feeling in the stomach may make you feel hungry when you really aren't. A glass of water or grapefruit juice should relieve this feeling, without extra calories. For more information on smoking contact the Huron County Chapter of the Ontario Heart Foundation - Joan Van Den Broeck at 524- 2845 or Wallace Montgomery at 482-9368. ST. MARYS - Four St. Marys merchants whose stores carry, or have carried, por- nographic • material, have been presented with a petition signed by 361 area residents. The petition is calling for .the removal of pornographic material from local. stores. The petition is the result of an on-going campaign against pornography, staged by the St. Marys Area Coalition Against Por- nography, an inforrnal group of local citizens. Their petition calls on the local merchants to accept that, "pornography is not just another kind of merchandise" but is "Material which has a negative influence on -the consumer (which) radiates from the in- dividual to influence all of society." The merchants who received the petition have agreed to take action, by taking a closer look at what magazines are sold in their stores, by making efforts to remove "violent" pornographic material and restricting the accessibility of the offending material. Coalition spokesperson Marg McBride said her reaction to the material available was "one of shock and alarm." She said that people have preconceived ideas about what pornography is and think of the nudity of the 1950s and '60s, rather than the "degradation" of today's material. She acknowledged that "degradation" is a vague term, but explained that the coalition is concerned with depictions in films and magazines of women enjoying rape arid bon- dage, of depictions of masochism and sadism and of the sexual victimization 'of children. Ms. McBride said that the anti- pornography group will continue to inform the public, "so that they are able to make a choice based on fact." She said suppliers of St. Marys stores will be notified of local public opinion as well as provincial and federal government representatives in- cluding members of the Opposition.
