By Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb DEAR DR. LAMB: I have been hav­ ing an argument with a friend about the stomach. She claims that the reason some people are (at is because they have a big stomach, and the large stomach increases the absorption of food. I claim that the size of the stomach has nothing to do with getting fat, that it all depends on how many calories you eat. She pointed out that some people have their stomachs stapled to make them smaller, and as a result they lose weight. That threw me. 1 know they db that but I always thought the size of the stomach wasn't important in getting fat. Can you explain? DEAR READER: The stomach may be large in a person who is overweight, but if so it is from continuously overeating. You are absolutely right about the size of the stomach. No calories except those from alcohol are absorbed through the wall of the stomach into the bloodstream. The stomach is a large food reser­ voir. Its main function is to churn the food you put into it with digestive Juices until the food is liquified or at least a slush. Solid food does not nor­ mally leave the stomach. When you drink fluids they usually pass through the stomach quickly. Fat delays the emptying ot the stomach, but that doesn't affect ab­ sorption through the stomach wall. It is pefectly true that a meal that contains fat may still be in the stomach hours later. That is why a steak-and-egg meal before the football game will not give the player any energy for the game. The food energy is still in the stomach after the game is over. Why do patients who have had a stomach-stapling operation lose weight? They eat fewer calories. They cannot eat a large, calorie-loaded meal. But they can drink high-calorie liquids and defeat the program. Whatever they eat is still absorbed as completely as before the operation. 1 have been surprised at how many people evidently do not understand digestion at all. Most of the calories we absorb enter the circulation in the very first part of the small intestine. You and your friends will want to read The Health Letter 12-4, "Your Digestion: Processing Your Food," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. DEAR DR. LAMB: Can one eat too much yogurt? I sometimes eat as much as 24 ounces in a day, and once or twice I've eaten 28 ounces. Can you tell CROSSWORD me what are the main benefits derived from eating yogurt? Are there any drawbacks? DEAR READER: I suppose you can eat too much of anything. There are many different types of yogurt. Some are low-fat and others are not. If you use a yogurt made from regular milk it will have about the same amount of fat as whole milk, that is, half of Its calories will be fat and half of that fat will be saturated fat. So In the Interest of limiting fat intake and saturated fat intake, I would advise you to use a low* fat yogurt. That will also help limit your cholesterol intake. On the good side, yogurt does Im­ prove lactose digestion. That's because it contains Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus ther- mophllus, two friendly bacteria that sour the milk to form yogurt. These friendly bacteria do release lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose sugar in dairy products. Doctors who are Interested in this point may want to review an article on this in the New' England Journal of Medicine, Volume 310, Page 1, 1984. Yogurt is a good source of calcium and protein.

UflH Someone else HI I Our final hand from the 1985 Caven­ dish Pair* has a bit of everything -- bidding gadgets, a closely bid slam and an unusual play that you should learn right now. The three-diamond bid by North was a mini-splinter, showing four- card heart support, a singleton dia­ mond and a normal-to-sound opening bid. With extra values, North could have made a strong splinter bid of four diamonds. The five-spade response to Blackwood was another special bid, showing two aces plus the queen of the agreed-upon trump suit. After that, South bid six hearts. West led his partner's suit. East won the ace and returned a spade. East would hardly have played away from the spade king, so declarer rose with the ace. He ruffed the 10 of diamonds, played ace of hearts and the heart 10, overtaking with the jack, and trumped the jack of diamonds. Now he led back to his king of clubs and drew the last heart with his king. At this point he needed the club finesse, but he had a little extra going for him. He played out his remaining red winners. West either had to discard the spade king or come down to only one club. If that club were the queen, well and good for the declarer. If not, since South would know the remaining card in West's hand, he would rise with the club ace and maybe catch the doubleton queen in East's hand. This play is called a pop-up squeeze. West must show up with the club queen. If it doesn't appear, you can as­ sume that East must bold it, and play accordingly.
