MASTER CHEMICAL
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor

Associated Press Science Editor
CLEVELAND, April ga mas
ter chemical, called a methyl
something which goes beyond vita
minis in maintaining health, and
can be had only in certain protein
foods, was described to the Amer
lean Chemical Society here today.
Methyl is the familiar poison in
wood alcohol, and also is known
to chemists in thousands of other
compounds. In all except three
of them it is poisonous.
The three exceptions are the
methyl in choline, a B vitamin,
and in two of the acids found in
some proteins. The foods contain
ing the master chemical include
egg yolk, soy beans and numer-
GUS meats and vegetables.
A diet which includes c wide va
riety is good insurance of getting
enough methyl. insufficient methy]
resembles vitamin deficiency.
The report was made by G. C.
Supplee of the Borden Co., and
four associates. Credit for discov.
ering methyrs role goes to Prof
Vincent Du Vigneaud, Cornell med
ical school, Prof. Charles H. Best,
Canadian co-discoverer of insulin,
and Prof. Henry C. Eckstein, Uni,
versity of Michigan.
MethyI is sort of super-vita-
min. 1t is part of some but not
all vitamins. Laboratory animals
bodies take the methyl from the
vitamin choline to build one Of
their essential proteins and also
are able to reverse this process
and make their own choline.
Methyps health role is, first, te
aid food do its nutrition job. Dr.
Supplee said it can be called the
body's lubricant. Second, methy
maintains good working order il
vital organs. Third, it is detoxi
cant, destroying some of the poi
sons which accumulate in the body
Probably this master chemica
also joins with some medicinal
drugs to increase their effective
ness in treating disease.
Lack of methyl causes excess ia
in the liver, and damages kidneys
The explanation of the poisonous
action is the fact that methyl al
ways is combined with other chem
icals, and the combination is usua
ly bad for man. The form which
man has to have is linked will
