BY JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist (front the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. yoirought (ABOUT to kSiw" [bread£SI^ (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping - The Ulcer Personality".) In the human body, the presence of food in the stomach stimulates the stomach to secrete acid to digest the food, It is widely recognized,' however, that nervous tension, anxiety, and resentment, even more than the presence of food, can stimulate the stomach to produce this acid. Chronic tension, then, can produce acid' in sufficient amounts to irritate and actually digest part of the stomach lining, producing an ulceration. More than simple nervous tension is usually needed for the formation of a stomach ulcer. Often there is a very definable '^personality" type that seems especially prone to this type of disorder. First, the disorder is three to four times more common in men than women. Many of the men are in middle management positions or other positions with responsibility or authority. Instead of making decisions with assurance and self con­ fidence, the ulcer personality reacts to important decision making with anxiety and in­ ternalized hostility. With an outward facade of control and self assurance, there is an underlying^ feeling of depen­ dence and self doubt. Often the ulcer personality is an extremely successful, in­ telligent and competent in­ dividual who actually seems to welcome responsibility and the challenge of a hard decision, Internally, however, the body reacts in a far less satisfactory manner. In short, the ulcer personality is far less self assured and independent than it appears. Actually, he is a very dependent person who agonizes internally over responsibility. There is also the presence of a considerable amount of hostility which is held in check under cir­ cumstances where it seems advantageous. Traditionally, of course, ulcers are treated only medically. In addition, however, counseling should be considered to help the patient explore his dependency needs and anxiety. Next: Counseling With The Family of Origin. The "preservatives" used in bread are chiefly mold in­ hibitors and are naturally found in other foods. Tradi­ tionally vinegar was added to bread to help control mold, and if you see the words," all natural ingredients" on a bread label, vinegar is probably on the ingredient list. But vinegar is not as effective as another ingredient found naturally in some foods. A few years ago, a chemist living in Michigan noted that his raisin bread didn't mold as quickly as other breads and set out to find the reason. Beverly Barbour He discovered that calcium propionate, found naturally in raisins and other foods (one ounce of Swiss cheese contains three times more calcium propionate than a one ounce slice of bread), is not only a mold retardant but adds valuable calcium to the diet. Now some states require by law that calcium propi - onate be added to any bread which is packaged in a plastic bag. • * • Next to dairy products, bread is our best source of calcium. White and enriched white bread contribute an average of 404 mg of calcium per pound of bread. Whole wheat bread averages 365 mg of calcium per pound loaf. Bread is a significant source of calcium, as six slices per day supply 15 per cent of t h e r e c o m m e n d e d d a i l y allowance for an adult. • • • During World War n, when it was discovered that many* people in the United States were suffering from vitamin and mineral shortages, popular foods were chosen as carriers of the missing nutrients. Margarine was fortified with vitamin A, milk was ir­ radiated to supply vitamin D, salt was selected to carry iodine, and white bread was enriched with the three B- vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin and niacin) plus iron. PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, APRIL 13,1979 Thiamine, riboflavin and niacin are all found in greater quantities in enriched white bread than in whole grains, and the iron is in a form more easily used by the body when it is added as a part of the enrichment formula. Calcium is an optional enrichment ingredient and is added when there is a need for it. < Enrichment is now required by law in 36 states, plus Puerto Rico, but because the bakers realize the importance of enrichment, 90 per cent of the white bread sold is en­ riched. Three states, . California, Oregon and Utah, require that all foods sold in those states containing 25 per cent, or more, flour, must be enriched. In these . states not only bread, but also crackers, doughnuts and mixes are enriched. In Malaysia it was believed that teasing dogs and cats led to severe storms. *FOR* SMITH THE FOLLOWING ARE THE JUDGES OF ELECTION FOR THE ALDERMANIC ELECTION TO BE HELD APRIL 17. 1979 IN THE CITY OF McHENRY WARP 1 Polling Place-Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, 404 N.
