Eat Your Cake And Diet Too? No. weight naturally and safely... without giving up the starchy .foods you love." £ "Tested and approved." •v "Now you can say "Yss! Yss!" to >*n the french fries, breed, pasta... you enjoy so much...and still lose weight!" X "Starch blockers,'" sold ss new - over-the-counter weight-loss aids, are : getting more popular every week. But .despite what's implied in their ad­ vertisements, the "blockers" do not k*ve government approval and have not been clinically proven to aid weight loss, says Nancy Moore, McHenry County Extension adviser, r. Many brands of the starch blockers I are sold at grocery, drug and health I-food stores in Illinois, and are Available through mail-order offers. Starch blockers are made from a " vegetable protein, alpha-amylase inhibitor, that is extracted from - ;kidney beans. According to the 's developer, the blockers it die amount of starch the body <can digest and absorb. If your body •: cannot absorb the starch, you don't *'get the calories from it, Moore says. ' The blockers are not intended to control the bodjTs absorption of fat, :: sugar, protein or alcohol. Starch- *; blocker manufacturers wv* that, ; while the starcb blockers limit the ^absorption of starch in french fries or -Ipixza, the body gets just ss many >calories as'ever from the fat, i " and sugar in these foods. Because the manufacturers sell the starch blockers ss a "natural protein food supplement" instead of as s drug, the product does not need the approval of the federal Food and Drug Administration. The FDA is currently evsluating the supplement to determine whether it should be classed as s drug, Ms. Moore says. If the FDA does decide to classify starch blockers ss a drug, all starch blocker products probably will be taken off the market until the . manufacturers have proven to the FDA that the blockers are safe and effective. "Tested-and-approved" claims in the ads do not specify who tested and approved the product. It is likely that starch-blocker users are the ones whose endorsements are cited in the ads Ms. Moors says. The advertisements also do not say the bacterial consumption of starch in the large intestine can result in gas or diarrhea. Gastrointestinal distur­ bances may be a real problem for starch-blocker users if the blockers work as promoted, notes Ms. Moore. Scientific studies showing the blockers to be safe and effective as weight-loss aids are lacking. The product's developer reports that research subjects who ttmeuniert 1,9*1 calories a day plus die starch-block pill "lost slightly more weight than the control group" that (fid not take the pill. On a diet of 1.J06 calories a day, most people can expect to lose weight with or without starch-blocker Ms Moore said. Like the FDA, nutritionists remain skeptical about the product's safety and mefUlness in reducing digestion and absorption of starch. Research done at the University of California at Davis haa shown that "large dietary supplements" of starch blockers "did not reduce the caloric availability of dietary starch as measured by the growth rate of laboratory rats." "And if the blockers don't work for rats, they probably won't work for humans either," Ms. Moore says.

SheeMMy Baby Have A Walker? Hunan babies follow a certain developmental pattern. Head control, for instance, leads to sitting balance, and sitting alone prepares the child for walking. Left to his own efforts, a child will to walking when his body Is to wslk, says Growing Child, the monthly child development newsletter. A number of factors contribute to this walking rsadlness. First of all, a baby's back muscles must be strong enough to keep him upright and balanced over his legs aiid feet. He must have developed certain balancing and protective responses which will protect him from serious injury during the many falls he will experience ss he learns to walk. Through creeping, a baby learns to use his arms and legs rhythmically and alternately while holding his head up to see where he is going. The many small bones of baby's feet are not hard like adult bones but are car­ tilage. which is firm but flexible - like hard rubber. The muscles which support the bones and which eventually hold the arches in place must be strong enough te held the bones in good alignment when the baby stands Left to himself, a baby will creep and pull to a standing position. During this period he just stands with his feet fairly wide apart and turned out for better balance. Later, he will begin to sidestep while holding onto s support A baby needs lots of practice in all of the activities - creeping, balancing, standing - which strengthen his muscles, improve his balance, and lead to strong standing and walking positions in a walker, a baby gets no stable standing practice. Any random leg movements push the walker from place to place. Rhythmic patterns of leg movement are not established, and coordinated arm and leg fail to dsiefap as they A child who can move in a walker before he haa proper balance - and Judgment - endangers himself. Once in motkxv he may not be able to stop, back up, or control the dlroction of the walker. Pediatricians report that injuries from a tumble downstairs in a walker are common. $mply stated, then, a baby will wait when he is ready. A fat, placid baby usually walks later than an active, wiry baby. Some children wait at 8 or 10 months. Others do not waft until 12-14 months. But one thing you can be sure of - given plenty of opportunity to creep, itkn and cruise iture - s baby body and nervous system are developmentally ready. Babies enjoy walkers, but walkers take important time away from those developmental activities thst produce real walking readiness.

It is good, but the plant breeders sren't completely hsppy with it. The perfect petunia for flower beds would have a strong but compact plant that would remain low and not fall apart in the rain. It would have large, vivid blossoms, lots of them, maybe with fancy frilled or wavy edges. Rain and sun would not fade the colors nor would diseases mar their beauty. There have been 49 medals given to petunias in the fifty-year history of All-America Selections. But none has been for a yellow petunia, mainly because the colors, while pleasing, aren't sufficiently vivid and the plants aren't compact as breeders would like Experts are confident that plant breeders will soon develop a yellow petunia just as good as today's ex- ' cellent scarlet hybrids. Then it won't be s question of its winning sn All- America award, but whether the award will be a bronze, silver or gold.

Q. I have been involved in an affair with a married man. I fear God cannot forgive my sin unless I confess my unfaithfulness to my husband. The other person involved does not feel that we should tell our spouses. He feels that the truth, if known, would injure innocent people, particularly our children. What should I do? A. You entered into this illicit, sinful relationship with no serious thought of consequences. Now it appears that you want to confess to your husband in an effort to gain relief from your guilt feelings-that is, you want an innocent person to help you bear the pein you have caused. suffering.
