Zurich Citizens News, 1976-10-20, Page 19Citizens News, October 20, 1976 -Page 19 Nutrition know how -it pays to know Q. Is it necessary to blanch vegetables before freezing? A. Blanching (placing vege- tables in boiling water) is neces- sary to inactivate chemical enzymes which cause deterior- ation during storage. It also deepens the natural colour, partially sterilizes the vege- tables and makes them softer for packaging. Most vegetables when frozen unblanched, lose colour and vitamins, become tougher and develop offensive, "hay -like" flavors in a com- paratively short time after freezing. Q. Does fluid milk have pre- servatives added to it? A. No, fluid milk does not have preservatives added to it. All milk is pasteurized, which means it is heated to 161 degrees F (72 degrees C) for not less than 16 seconds to destroy disease carrying bac- teria. When milk is homo- genized, that means under pressure, fat particles are broken down so that the fat is dispersed throughout the milk and doesn't settle on the top. Chocolate milk and choco- late partially skimmed milk (formerly called chocolate dairy drink) may contain a stabilizer to keep the chocolate dispersed throughout the milk. Q. What ingredients are used in wieners and how nutritous are they? A. Except for wieners labelled "all beef" the meat ingredi- ents can include beef, mutton and pork cuts. All of this meat is government inspected for wholesomeness. In addition, government regulations allow certain other protein sources, i.e. liver, tripe, whole blood or blood plasma. Regulated amounts of meat binders such as milk powder, wheat flour are added as well as spices. Sodium nitrite in extremely small quantities is used as a preservative, and is respon- sible for the distinctive cured flavour and colour. Wieners are a low source of protein. The pro- tein in wieners is about 11- 12% as compared to 17-18% in sirloin steak. The quality of protein in both meats is basical- ly the same.' Q. Would you recommend raisins as a good nutritious snack? St. Peter's Lutheran Church A.C. BLACKWELL, M. DIV. PASTOR Organist Miss Christine Haberer, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24.\ 10:00 a.m. - Worship Service 10:45 a.m. - Church School A. Raisins are a nutritious snack and do provide a good source of quick energy. How- ever, they do have a draw- back in the fact they are so sticky. Some raisins are high in sugar and tend to adhere to the teeth and this could contri- bute to dental cares. Perhaps a more totally healthful snack would be nuts, sunflower seeds or fresh fruit. Q. Can Soy Sauce be used on a Salt -Restricted Diet? A. No. Soy sauce contains more than two grams of sodium, equivalent to one teaspoon of table salt in each fluid ounce and should not be used on even a mildly salt -restricted diet. If you are looking for recipes and cooking suggestions for salt restricted diets, write to the Department of Dietetic Services, Ontario Hospital As- sociation, 150 Ferrand Drive, Don Mills, for their free book- let of Restricted Sodium Rec- ipes. Q. What is the difference be- tween fruit juice and fruit drink? A. Only products containing fruit juice to which no water has been added may be label- led fruit juice. Products with additonal water must be given names such as fruit drink, fruit punch or fruit ade, even though they may contain some fruit juice. Extra Vitamin C is sometimes added to these pro- ducts to improve their nutrition- al value. Since Vitamin C is more stable in an acid substance, as with fruit juice, it is easily destroyed in the non-acid medium of fruit flavoured drinks. To obtain full Vitamine C value such drinks should be consumed within a day or two of the time they are made up. Q. I am on a low calorie re- ducing diet and a friend re- cently told me I could eat all the mushrooms I want without adding any calories. Is there any food value in mushrooms? A.

This quantity provides 5 grams of' protein, some Vitamin 13 and small amounts of iron. If you saute mushrooms the calorie count increases. (A tablespoon of butter or margarine adds 100 calories!) Mushrooms provide variety and enhance flavour—a very worth- while addition to a low calorie diet. ®._ _111111.__ _ _ _..® Q. Can people instinctively choose a nutritions diet? A. Unfortunately, no. For sever- al years we thought that in- fants would choose a well- balanced diet instinctively, but we now know that this is not true. Our belief was based on a study done in 1928, where infants were offered a choice of wholesome foods and freely selected a nutritous diet. This study was recently repeated, offering a wide selection of foods currently on the market and not necessarily nutritious. The study had to be stopped) after a few weeks, because some of the infants were be- coming malnourished as a re- sult of their "instinctive" choices.
