...Diet. Dr. Frederick Bogue Noyes, 60, of Chicago thought that heredity probably has more to do with tooth health than has diet. Immunity and susceptibility to dental caries (decay) have been traced through four human generations. But most dentists agreed last week that diet is of prime importance, especially in childhood. They were interested in the report of University of Chicago's Biochemist Milton Hanke on a three-year experiment at Mooseheart (Ill.) Orphanage. He found that large amounts of orange juice (at least eight ounces per day) tended to decrease tooth decay by one half. Dr. Henry Aria...
...Clara M. Davis of Winnetka, Ill.. disconcerted most pediatricians with her report of an experiment in child diet. She began with 15 babies six months old, fed them for five years. Before them was set an abundance of fresh meats, vegetables, cereals, eggs, milk, fish, fresh fruit and sea-salt. Allowed to eat as much as they wanted of whatever they wanted, they proceeded to eat just as pediatricians would forbid them-quantities of meat and eggs, few vegetables and cereals. None of them ever ate spinach a second time. Some ate a wide variety of foods, some specialized...
...islands in the South Atlantic-Inaccessible, Nightingale, Tristan, Goughs-two young British explorers last week announced they would go for two years. Francis K. Pease, 27, veteran of two Antarctic expeditions, and Edward B. Marsh, 21, will take food to about 200 islanders on Tristan, reduced to a potato diet because their exhausted soil will grow little else. They will try to move the inhabitants to the virgin soil of Inaccessible, study meteorological conditions and the islands' possibilities as a South Atlantic airline base...
Firmly pursuing this destiny, Marshal Muto sat in Changchun, subsisting on his Spartan diet of rice, rice, rice, while his sub-commanders conquered the Chinese province of Jehol, added it to Manchukuo (TIME, March 13). Like Marshal Muto his successor General Hishikari is con sidered not a military genius but a safe & sane commander able to guide the exuberance of junior officers and to build up Manchukuo as a state...
...associates of Toronto suggested in The Journal of Nutrition that beryllium, a metal related to calcium and now coming into industrial use (it strengthens and hardens aluminum alloys), may be an obscure cause of rickets. When the experimenters added as little as 2% of beryllium carbonate to the diet of rats, the rats grew humpbacked, wobbled as they walked, showed practically all the other signs of rickets. No amount of cod-liver oil, viosterol, ultraviolet light or sunlight improved their condition. Best deduction is that the beryllium combines with phosphorus, which is essential for healthy bones and muscles, forms...
