...easier to research." Scholars often frame their grant proposals broadly enough to blanket their real research interests. The sociologist interested in youth gangs, for example, is more likely to get money for a study of slum neighborhoods. Conversely, a biologist who merely wanted to find out whether a high-protein fish flour was unsafe for human consumption landed a grant by emphasizing that he wanted to know if the flour would induce cancer...
Half of the world's people are undernourished, and their most crippling deficiency is in protein, the basic building block of the human body. Its lack causes mental retardation, stunted growth, early death. Now U.S. industry and Government scientists have developed an inexpensive food supplement rich in protein. It is a "flour" made by grinding up whole fish, and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall reports that it can restore balance to the diet at a daily cost of only half a cent per person. U.S. fisheries alone, he adds, can produce enough of the raw material to meet the needs...
...Food and Drug Administration marked the end of a long struggle within the Government. Illinois' VioBin Corp. has been exporting fish flour since 1955, and in 1961 the company sought FDA approval for U.S. distribution. Though VioBin expected only a modest market in the U.S., where protein-deficient diets are not a major problem, U.S. approval promised to help convince countless purchasers overseas. But the FDA then ruled that no matter how well it might be sterilized in processing, the light tan powder must be considered "adulterated and filthy" because it included every part of the fish-head, tail...
...LYMPH DRAINAGE. Many of the powerful antibodies against foreign protein are carried by lymphocytes, white blood cells circulating principally in the lymphatic system. Dr. Murray reported on a method in which a plastic tube is inserted in the thoracic lymph duct just above the collarbone. The lymph drains out by gravity into a plastic bag. With good drainage, up to 32 billion cells are removed daily, for as long as four months. They are separated from the lymph fluid by centrifuge, and the fluid is reinfused into the patient through an arm vein. With a well-drained lymph system, said...
...President overlooked one money-saving -- and helpful -- proposal, aid through fish flour. Fish flour, recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is a colorless, tasteless and odorless protein concentrate made very cheaply from the "trash" fish, hake. Since an estimated two billion persons in underdeveloped countries suffer from lack of protein, Johnson could reasonably have suggested sending fish flour instead of money as foreign...
