SUGAR MAKES
EATING A Joy
Why eat unflavored, unappe-
tizing foods?

A change is coming over the
well-informed eating ideas of this
country. For a time, food faddists
tried to make us believe that we
had to eat all kinds of things we
didn't like in order to be healthy.
Good sense is beginning to assert
itself and we now know that the
foods that are good for US may also
be the most enjoyable. In fact, if
we don't like the healthful foods,
we probably won't eat them.
Prominent medical and other
scientific authorities are now re-
minding us that appetizing flavors
may be developed and improved by
sugar. One well-known scientist,
for example, states that "fruit
aavors are developed by sugar. Fruit
acids are softened by sugar"
The only safe rule for health
full diet is to eat as large a variety
Of foods as possible, including
healthful cereals, fruits and vege-
tables made appetizing to the taste
by the judicious use of sugar. Sugar
is not only nutriment in its least
costly form. It is Natures perfect
flavor. Sugar develops the appetiz-
ing quality Of nearly all fruits.
Desserts of fresh or cooked fruits
are growing more and more popu-
lar. Modern candy containing fruits,
nuts and pure sugar is delicious
and satisfying at the end Of meal.
No one should overeat or under
exercise, but everyone, in order to
be healthy, should eat plenty of
healthful foods and enjoy them. The
Sugar Institute.
