BER po Na SRE Dean J. Kelly ANIMALS BETTER FED THAN PEOPLE Take a look at ygur dog,food and see the nutritional listing on the ids It lists protein, and dozens of vitamins and minerals. It even lists the percentage of protein to carbohydrates and fats. It lists trace minerals often missing in human foods because of processing and heating. It may even list the caloric value of the food. Now take a look at human food. Take a good look < What do you find. Sugar food additives, articial flavour and colourings. No mention often can be fofind of the-nutritional analysis. When sugar is refined the best part..the molasses goes into animal feed. When flour is refined and bleached into white flour the wheat gérmibest part) is removed along with vital fibre, most of the vitamins lost and the minerals destroyed. The wheat germ is often fed to pigs. When beer is made, the brewers yeast (high in protein and B vitamins( is discarded. I remember reading a story that the sewers leading from a brewery was so plugged with yeast that they had to bring in a special cleaning device to clean out the sewer. All this valuable high protein food being flushed down the sewer. While the worlds needy are starving from the lack of protein. Animal breeders know the value of good nutrition for their animals. The loss of a prize bull or race horse could run into the hundreds of thousands. He makes + sure his animals are well fed...many add vitamins and minerals to their diets. Zookeepers around the world know the value of their animals. They are fed diets high in vitamins and mineral supplements. More nutrients are concentrated into a yeast cell than in any other food. Locked in each cell of : nutritional yeast are the prime sources of all the B complex vitamins which activate enzymes. Without Enzymes, life would be impossible. Ounce for ounce Beef Liver is the most nutritious food you can eat. Tests on lab animals have shown it can supply 10 times the energy of other foods: CALCIUM: - And why you need it ..... It is essential for clotting of the blood, normal functioning of the "rr A ALLEY a re) I EB TR £ "a * ILS nerves; for normal pulse and cardiac contraction. 99 percent of body calcium stored in bones and teeth with only 1 percent in soft tissues and body fluids serving seveal major functions. Calcium cannot be absorbed without Vit. D and magnesium in a ratio of 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium. If milk or other sources of calcium are not used, the best source is naturally mined Dolomite from sea vegetation, containing the required amount of magnesium for proper utilization. Its very cheap...a little over a-penny-a pill. Normally - not more than HALF of our calcium intake in food or medicinal form is assimilated. IRON: Deficiency is" widespread - Tiredness and anemia are the first signs of deficiency. Unfortunately at best only 2 to 10 percent of inorganic iron taken into the body is absorbed. Of this small amount, 50 percent is then eliminated. B-vitamins are necessary in the stomach for absorbtion. Hydrochloric acid and amino acids are necessary for assimilation. Have your doctor do a blood test if you suspect your blood is low. When sugar was rationed during the War, deaths from diabetes dropped more than 40 percent. The _ -body does not need sugar. It can manufacture off it needs from starch and from fruits and vegetables. The more sugar ingested, the. more insulin produced in the body to counteract it. The fat we store in our fat cells is stored in the form of triglycerides. Choles- terol, once thought to be the villian in heart disease has shifted by many researchers to the triglycerides. As insulin is the mediator of the manufacture of tri- glycerides, the greater the insulin levels, the greater triglyceride levels. . The more sugar the more insulin you produce...the greater the resistance you have to break down your fat. The theory is that insulin indirectly reduces the activity of a group of sub- stances called lipid-mobilizers. One of these fat- mobilizers FMH is produced by the pituitary gland. A deficiency of any of the nutrients needed for healthy functioning of the glandular systems can have wide spread affect on the normal bodily functions, control- led by the hormones. Some leading breakfast cereals contain up to 50 percent sugar. Alpha Bits contain 40 percent and Cap'n Crunch 37 percent, as examples. You pay almost twice as much for sugar coated corn flakes, as for the plain old-fashioned one. More than 600 nutritionists, dentists, doctors, nutrition students and 22 citizens and professional associations petitioned the FDA to set a 'standard of quality" for cereals. Products containing more than 10 percent sugar would bear a label stating "Contains ... percent sugar, Frequent Use Contributes to Tooth Decay and other Health problems". The highest rated cereals are whole grain and contain NO sugar' Alpen, although "called a natural cereal contains 13 percent sugar, nies ERS Brothers Needed i" SRE . As our modern society becomes more and more all- ~ emcompassing, complex and impersonal, the need for the service ¢lub, community groups and other organizations to carry out the many 'human' services beco ore and more critical. Although plan peas are met through many ordanizations today, there is one group that meets a critical need: The Big Brother.organization, attempt- ing to start a new association in the Scugog area, deals with perhaps: our most needed and critical resource. Our young people. . MAE Bo There are no conventions, no trophies, not much publicity and little outside recognition with Big Brother volunteers. Infact, the 'association likes it that way. When an organization deals with some- thing as important as a boy's future, there should be no doubt that the volunteer is indeed a "Volunteer", and not simply seeking recognition, publicity. Where many other organizations demand no more than a periodic dig in the pocket book, this group demands perhaps the rarest commodity found today. An interest in another human being, a concern, and enough love that the volunteer is willing to give a piece of his life for someone who is less fortunate. The association has been formed...the little Broth- ers are waiting. : : . Now they need you! "Hard Decision Should an- adopted 'person have accggs to identify- ing information about his biologique! parents? This question has plagued adoption agencies, adopted people and adopting parents for years. To this day social scientists are not in agreement on the answer. Florence Fisher of California, much publicized proponent of finding natural parengs asserts that everyone has the absolute right to "look into the eyes of' natural parents. The agencies arranging the adoptions tend to uphold the rigpt to @rivacy of parents who give a child up for adoption. Surely they have a right to live with their traumatic decision without fear of a painful confrontation years later. _ Adopting parents find it hard to accept a child's need to locate biological parents. The situation is fraught with deep and often conflicting emotions making it difficult to frame satisfactory legislation. Britigh Columbia attempted to establish a provin- cial regjstry where those wishing to find or to be found cbuld enter their names and addresses, This solution was vetoed by a lobby of adopting parents who insisted on maintaining. the confidentiality they had been promised. In Scotland and Finland anyone reaching age 17 may obtain his or her birth records including the names of natural parents. In Canada such records are not available to the individual and it is up*to the discretion of the agency through which the child was adopted whether or not to divulge identifying inform- ation. hat about the children themselves? Most adopted children are secure in their relation- ship with their parents and think little or 18t at all about those who place them for adoption. It is the ones who have identity problems so serious as to approach breakdown who occasionally need to know . fore. The turbulent teen years can present anxieties which adopting parents find difficult to assuage without laying to rest ghosts of the past. It is in those rare instances when a compassionate agency with flexible rules can offer guidance (with or without information) required to help a young person to square with his past. Some human problems are siniply beyond legislation.
