Effect on Digestion and Nerves

Laboratory experiments have
also indicated that when there is
a shortage of vitamin G, digestion
is usually impaired. In this re-
spect, a shortage of vitamin G has
a slightly different effect than a
deficiency of vitamin B. A def
mite lack of vitamin B causes an
abrupt and complete loss of appe-
tite. Withholding vitamin G ap-
pears to affect the desire for food,
so that experimental animals con-
sumo only about two-thirds as
much as they would normally
take.
A form of nervous depression
may occur when the diet is low in
vitamin G for any protracted
length of time. Other unfortunate
consequences may be a decline in
the health of the skin. Studies
with animals indicated that when
the vitamin was withheld, not
only did a loss of weight occur,
but there were other signs of nu-
tritional failure. These included
an Inflammation of the mouth,
loss of hair, a thickening and in
some cases, a cracking and seal
ing, of the skin.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

turnip tops and beet tops have
been found to be unusually rich.
Investigations indicate that weight
for weight, they are twice as rich
as eggs, though eggs are consid-
cred good source.
Homemakers will be glad to
learn that heating does not appear
to destroy vitamin G. Canned
foods are therefore as good a
source as though they had not
been processed.
Milk must not be overlooked.
For all practical purposes, and
chiefly because of the amounts in
which it is consumed, it is proba-
bly, our most important source Of
the G vitamin.
One thing is certain. Home
makers should strive-not for
diets that are merely adequate in
vitamin G but for a surplus
to help build high resistance. One
authority has advised a ration that
contains four times the amount
considered absolutely necessary.
The surplus should help to pro-
vide . headstart toward the goal
OF buoyant health.

vifamin @ and Healthy Eyes

Studies with a variety of expert
mental animals resulted in the
startling disclosure that on diets
lacking vitamin G the health of
the eyes was distinctly affected.
Not only was there a loss of
hair around the eyes, but the eye
ball developed a whitish appear
ance which was determined to be
cataract.
At present, scientists are not
prepared to say whether these lab
oratory findings may be confirmed
clinically. But certainly when we
know that in many ways, the food
requirements of experimental ami
mails are comparable to those in
man, it would be distinctly to our
advantage to make sure that we
do not lack for adequate amounts
of vitamin G..
Glacier County chief., 1939-01-20
Milk. Meaf, EGGS, Greens

The richest sources of vitamin
G are the concentrates of yeast,
yeast extract and wheat germ. Al
most equally well supplied with
this vitamin are liver and kidney.
Muscle cuts of meat contain vita
min G, but in lesser amounts than
liver and kidney.
The vitamin is also found in
young green plants, and it is in
teresting to note that the vitamin
is formed during the growth of the
plant and decreases with matur-
ity. The amount of the vitamin
has been found to vary with differ
ent parts of the same plant. In
broccoli, the flower buds are said
to contain only half as much as
the leaves, while the stems con-
tain even less. Among the greens,

Questions Answered

Mrs. G. M. 1.-The term, water
balance, about which you inquired
is used to describe the situation
in which the available water from
food, beverages, and that manu-
featured in the body equals that
of the water excreted or lost from
the body. 1t is to help keep the
body in water balance that the
daily diet must contain adequate
amounts of fluids.
E. G. M. Jr.-Yes, it is true that
approximately one-third of the
protein required during infancy is
stored by the child's body to take
care of growth and development.
As children grow older, the
amount of protein stored for
growth gradually decreases until
they become adults.

tOry experiments
by investigators who are para
mount in their field seem to indi-
cate that vitamin G has a pro-
nounced effect upon the mainte-
nance of health and vigor at all
ages. It has been demonstrated
with experimental animals that a
diet containing more vitamin G
than is required for normal
growth resulted in greater vigor,
a postponement of the onset Of
senility and a comparatively short
period Of the mental and physical
infirmities we usually associate
with old age.

the two. This is not surprising,
inasmuch as it was some years
following the initial recognition of
vitamin B that scientists estab-
lished beyond a doubt that there
was more than one growth-pro-
noting vitamin. Subsequently,
they learned that while the sub
stance, later named vitamin G,
was frequently found in close as
ISOLATION with vitamin B, such
was not always the case. For ex-
ample, vitamin G is known to &C.
