...simple matter. First, the water must be distilled, redistilled and further purified to remove all contaminants. Then each of 18 amino acids must be weighed out, to the thousandth of a gram, and dissolved. With the same micrometric accuracy, 16 vitamins are added, plus glucose, eleven salts, and ethyl linoleate-a fatty-acid substance. Finally, flavor is added. So far, only fruit flavors have proved practical. An attempt to give the volunteers a ration with a smoked-ham flavor failed because of interaction with the amino acids...
...Grant had noted, as has many another TV sports fan, that athletic trainers seem to get good results with a cooling ethyl chloride spray. And he knew about applying hot-water bottles filled with ice cubes. But if a little cold is good, Dr. Grant reasoned, deeper chilling might somehow ease the pain and help the accident patient get his muscles and joints working sooner. Dr. Grant was certain of one thing at least: the longer a muscle or joint is immobilized by pain, the harder it is to get it working again...
...sport section, his first name can only be a liability. He is the only male ever listed in Who's Who of American Women, a distinction conferred upon him by accident even though his entry clearly and accurately stated that he is married to a girl named Ethyl. He is the only U.S. sportswriter who, after checking into a room with a colleague in a Tampa hotel, got flowers from the management. "For Miss Shirley Povich and Mr. Robert Considine," read the note that came with the bouquet. ("I don't know what to say about the morals...
Shut-Eye. If they are not, they should be. Pro basketball bristles with violence. Falling players leave slippery smears of sweat on the floor that have to be mopped up with towels. Trainers use freezing sprays of ethyl chloride to relieve the pain of a sprain-and keep the man in the game. An estimated 85% of the pros play with nagging injuries-charley horses, jammed thumbs, pulled muscles-and St. Louis' Pettit and Syracuse's Dolph Schayes have kept going with broken wrists. Robertson himself is just getting over a torn muscle above his right hip, which...
...above statement is incorrect. Our laboratory was the first to report that the lipide-lowering effect [produced by vegetable fat] was directly related to the degree of unsaturation of a natural fat and also the first to report that synthetic fats containing linoleic acid and subsequently pure ethyl linoleate (linoleic acid is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid of vegetable oil) would lower plasma lipides to a profound degree in the absence of any of the other components of vegetable fats...
