EHact Of SunIiaht IN Food

DIR. Harry Steenbock of the Uni
Nersity OF Wisconsin has discovered
that foods given a sun bath are as
effective in preventing and curing
ricketts, as foods rich in the antirachi-
tic vitam:n. AS a result of expert
ments he has found that merely plac-
ing food in the sunlight will endow
1t with growth promoting properties
supposed to be possessed only by
foods rich in vitamins, in spite of
the fact that 'irradiated" or illunl-
mated foods may contain no Vita
Minis before exposure TO the light.
Hundreds of rats were used expert
mentally. Ricketts, was produced in
these animals by first feeding rations
known to produce this disease. Then
they we're cured by feeding them with
exactly the same ration which had
been exposed to sunlight. For man
these findings have particular value
because prominent medical authorities
have found that in northern climates
40 to 90 per cent. of the children in
industrial areas show signs of rick
cts. Such a condition. though sell
dom fatal. leads to more or less per-
manent abnormalities sach a bowed

due to the inability of the child to
assimilate lime. BY exposing them
to sunlight cereal grains. breakfast
foods. salad oil. cooking fats. oleo-
margarines and modified infants
foods may all be made protective
agents without affecting their taste.
and apparently this property is not
destroyed by aging. In the past cod
liver oil has been the standard reme-
dy for ricketts,. but as a result of DR..
Steamboats, experiments It may be-
come possible to dispense with this
remedy. which has oeen tolerated
rather than relished. Olive oil and
