What Role Do
Vitamins Play?
Today, most people know vitamin
are important, though they may not
understand what it is they do. Dr.
Dee Graham, director of techno
logy development for Dei Monte
Corporation, offer* these insights
into the role of vitamins:
- Vitamin A la one of the che
micals used in the eye’s sensing
mechanism that helps convert light
into messages to the brain. It to
found primarily in butter fat add
leafy green vegetables. Deficiencies
can cause night bltndaeas, even total
blindness. Vitamin A is soluble In
fat. Excess vitamin A is stored in the
body. Too much of It over several
weeks can cause liver damage.
Vitamin B-l, or thiamine,
helps in the process of supplying
. wwrgy the body needs for muscu
> lar movement or nerve transmis
sion. A deficiency cart cause Bert
t berl, a form of paralysis. Me**,
liver, and whole grain rsroato are
good source* of this vitamin
\ - Vitamin B-l, riboflavin, helps
| synthesize energy rich material in
• the body to get oxygen to cads, and
} may retard the formation of cata
racts. Good food sources are meats,
including liver, milk, and eggs
