A c c o r d i n g t o h e a l t h authorities, many of our eating habits are not so much a preference as they are an addiction--mental as well as physical. TTiis is especially true of eating sweets. If we look at it from a psychological basis, modern society often displays love and recognition to a child through sweets. The infant's pacifier is often sweetened to keep him from crying; the child is often given candy as a reward; even the grown-up is shown affection by a box of candy or a cake. And so sweets often become a security food--subcon­ sciously satisfying the desire for approval. Elderly people, when sur­ veyed, indicate their favor­ ite food as "beans." This might seem to be a contra­ diction to the security food theory until one studies the era when these people were brought up. Those were the days of the depression when people could seldom afford the luxury of sweets. Every dollar was put into staple foods, and there was noth­ ing more staple than low- cost filling foods like bread, potatoes and beans. Among the three, beans was a treat. And thus it became the reward. Incidentally, that's why most older people can't understand the tastes of our generation with its concen­ tration on the high use of sugar. That's also why most people tend to favor foods that taste just like "what mother used to make." The motivation in both cases is the same--security going back to childhood coaxing. What this points out U that parents can train their offspring to like al­ most anything with an ac­ ceptable taste. They have the opportunity to establish habits that will affect a child's lifelong nutrition and subsequently health. Is it going to be sweets or something much more nutri­ tional in value? Doctors of chiropractic, who put parti­ cular emphasis on nutrition in their approach to health, recommend that it be a healthful food like a piece of fruit--not manufactured sweets. In fact, they Warn against the overuse of re­ fined sugar. Unfortunately, moat peo­ ple are unaware of how much sugar they really con­ sume. They don't think of the excessive amounts of sugar found in ordinary pas­ tries, desserts, drinks, snack foodis, and cereals. Sure, sugar frequently causes tooth decay. But the 01 effects of excess sugar are far more dangerous in terms of what it does to the chemistry of the body, and the many health problems which may arise as a result. Most health practitioners are concerned about mod­ ern America's "sweet tooth." For example, the doctor of chiropractic makes nutrition and dietary management an important part of his study of the h u m a n b o d y , v i e w i n g i t as part of a conservative approach to health resto­ ration, maintenance, and disease resistance. If you were born during the last 30 years, let's face it, you've got an addiction, a habit, a psychological crutch with sweets. And it's going to be harder to break than even the cigarette habit. But it's well worth doing ... for the sake of your health. No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks. -St. Ambrose.
