Alt PHONES 587-2555 0k Quick W Todays Health News Published by the American Medical Association What's wrong with America's health knowledge? ... More than 100 million adult Americans be lieve that vitamin pills give added pep and energy, 90 million say that a bowel movement every day is necessary for good health, and almost 13 million think that over- the-counter "diet pills" really work. And they're all wrong, say doctors interviewed by Today's Health. Except for those suffering from an extremely poor diet or for others in special medical situa tions (such as pregnancy, nursing, and recuperation from a long ill ness), there is no sound evidence that extra vitamins do anything at all to improve health -- although in most cases they do no harm, says Philip L. White, Sc.D., of the American Medical Association. The greater danger, according to John F. Mueller, M.D., of the Brooklyn-Cumberland Medical Center, is that people use vitamins to treat their own illnesses in stead of going to the doctor. What about regularity? TH talked with several gastroenterol- ogists and all agreed about one thing: Americans are much too concerned about this problem, and for no very good reason. There is no single standard of "regularity" that can be applied to whole populations. A recent English study showed, for ex ample, that normal, healthy adults had bowel habits ranging from three bowel movements a day to fewer than three a week. Those who habitually use laxatives, with out doctor's orders to do so, may become overly dependent on them and may miss a more serious problem, underlying the need for laxatives. Beside those Americans who worry about being healthy and Fredrick R. Cooper, 2012 N. Orchard, McHenry, speeding 45 in a 25 m.p.h. zone. Dolores I.

Most of the 17 million people who have used ap petite suppression drugs have been under a doctor's care, but many have simply wasted their money on over-the-counter diet preparations. Summing up the ef fectiveness of the non-prescrip tion "diet pills" widely advertised and readily available at any drug store, S. K. Fineberg, M.D., a New York physician, says: "They are mild, non-habit forming -- and they don't work." The survey of 2,800 representa tive Americans, commissioned by the Food and Drug Administra tion of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) and part of a six-year federal study, also showed that: *One in eight adults admitted that he or she would self-medi- cate, without seeing a doctor, for longer than two weeks for such common ailments as sore throat, hay fever, upset or acid stomach and sinus trouble. •One fourth of all adult Ameri cans claim to have arthritis, rheu matism, or a similar disease. Half of them have never had the con dition diagnosed by a doctor, and half have never been treated by a doctor, ' Ten thousand travel agents could be wrong . . . Especially when they tell you there's no threat of disease in Botswana, Africa (where there's still a good chance of catching African sleep ing sickness), no malaria in In dia, and little chance of getting "tourista" (traveler's diarrhea) in Mexico. Commercial airlines and foreign governments aren't much better either when it comes to dis cussing health risks--for the most part, they don't want to talk about it ["It discourages business," said one travel-industry leader.] But health hazards do exist, and most Americans traveling abroad --more than seven million last year alone--are unprepared for them, says the nonprofit Trav eler's Health Institute of New York. To find out what foreign travelers should and shouldn't do to protect their health, Today's Health asked a number of medi cal experts. The first thing a traveler should do after mapping his itinerary is plan to visit his family doctor-- both before and after the trip. Even though it is unlikely that a family physician will have up-to- date health information at his fin gertips about Nairobi, Madras, or Singapore, he knows where to find it. He will know what pre cautions should be taken and what immunizations are needed. Afterward, he'll be aware of the diseases the traveler has been ex posed to and, if there is a prob lem, cart diagnose and treat it. Second,^make sure to get pro per immunizations. Only a few are required in most countries, but to be safe most experts con sider six immunizations essential for any foreign trip. They are Smallpox, Typhoid-Paratyphoid, Poliomyelities, Diptheria, and Tet anus. Some doctors believe travel ers should also get influenza vac cine, as well as gamma globulin which, while it does not immu nize, offers protection from infec tious hepatitis. Travelers to Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Latin America should also consider get ting shots against cholera, yellow fever, and typhus and should take regular doses of a prophylactic drug called chloroquine diphos phate to guard against malaria. Third, those traveling outside of North America, Australia, New Zealand, and most of northern Europe should be careful about what they eat and drink. Water should be bottled or canned-- even for gargling and brushing teeth--and, the further away from the beaten track, the more well- cooked the food should be. Finally, when in doubt ask a doctor, not a travel agent. WANT MORE INFOtMAT/ON?

Cook them only un til they're tender when tested with a fork. To keep eyes from watering while cutting onions, slice or cut the onions under cold, running water. Slice the onion from the top rather than the root end. Onions will behave, even with company in the parlor, if you cook them uncovered, in a large amount of boiling salted water. The flavor's better, too. Onions, also, are a valuable source of the important minerals, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Today's hog yields 25 pounds more lean meat and 25 pounds less fat per carcass than the average hog of 25 years ago. In other words, research in genetic selection has led to development of meatier hogs that yield only half as much lard and other fat as did hogs in 1948. A major con sumer benefit of the new, leaner pork is its lower calorie content. A good size pork chop weighing YOU CAN BUY A BUDDY POPPY IF YOU CARE...
