SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C. A. L. Reed

TNAT is an important constitu-
i ent, probably the most impor-
tant single constituent of the food
of children from the first day of
infancy to the last year of ma
turity. These fats are furnished
infants by nature in their mothers
milk. In the later years they are
derived from cows milk. butter
and in the form of other fats of
both animal and plant origin.
These fats are essential, first. to
promote growth and, next, to pre-
vent conditions known as def
cheney diseases.
Science has proven that no per-
son can grow to his or her full
development without a supply of
vitamin A. This supply must be
very much larger than that neces-
snry to prevent definite deficiency
disease or even to prevent any OBJ
vious i'll health. And, from the
practical point of view, the prob
lem OF providing an ample supply
of vitamin A in the diet is the
problem OF providing an ample
supply Of milk or butter. 1t is,
therefore, very important to ascer-
tain the minimum of milk-fat
which each person ought to take,
for this is a measure of his vita
l4iin A requirement .
One piece of evidence on this
point brought out by Cramer
UanceD is the amount OF milk
consumed by an infant when 1t is
weaned. This is about one quart
day and contains 40 grammes
of milk fat. Holt and Fales say
necessarily milk fat. increase pro-
portionate1y to the weight. so
that the requirement for every
age is about $4,000 of the body
weight. If. then, child wants
40 grammes in it's first year, it
will want 100 grammes when it
is 10 and 125 to $50 grammes be-
tween 10 and 16 years. In the
first year the whole fat require.
ment is taken in milk, but as
the child grows old its need is
filled partly by butter and animal
fat, and so it needs to drink
less milk. 1t can hardly be
doubted that everyone, If he had
freedom of choice, would take
most of his fat as milk, cream
and butter.
All the evidence available
shows that people who. can af-
ford as much milk and butter as
they like to eat take about 40 to
SO grammes of milk fat a day,
which is represented by an ounce
of butter and a glass of full
cream milk.
1t is known that European
countries. especially. do not get
nearly as much as they need. The
available supply in England, II
rationed, would only be about 30
examiners of milk fat per person
a day. Denmark, which lives
chiefly by exporting butter. only
consumes about 10 grammes per
head per day. As the consump-
ton of butter has gone down in
both these countries. that of
margarine has increased. The re-
suits, health authorities assure
us, is already seriously noticeable
in the modified growth of the
population.
To substitute margarine for
butter may be justified on eco"
nomical grounds, as butter Is
twice as valuable as margarine
but. we are assured by Cramer'
that margarine will not replace
butter.
