Certain Breads May
Be Used For Reducing
By ELLEN WELLES
CHAPEL HILL - We've
heard of the high protein
meat diet. What about the
bread diet?
Bread, especially low
calorie-high cellulose bread,
is an effective, nutritional
aid in weight reduction, says
Dr. Olaf Mickelsen, professor
of human nutrition at
Michigan State University.
Mickelsen discussed his
bread diet recently with a
group of students and
faculty members at a public
lecture sponsored by the
department of nutrition of
the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill
School of Public Health.
At the end of an
eight-week test period, his
student subjects lost an
average of 19.3 pounds when
on a controlled diet with lo
cal-cellulose bread and 13.7
pounds with regular white
bread. The studetns were
fed meals with normal
portions of meat, vegetables
and salads, but were
required to eat 12 slices of
bread a day and to cut down
on high fat foods. They kept
a record of everything they
ate between meals and
brought in daily urine
samples.
"After losing 25 pounds on
our lo cal-celloulose bread
diet, in eight weeks, one
student wanted to know if he
could continue. Since that
bread was not on the market
yet we told him to continue
but to use regular white
bread. When he came back
to us later, he had lost 25
additional pounds," said
Mickelsen, who conducted
the experiments within the
last three years.
The bread is now on the
market, labeled as lo-cal,
high fiber bread.
Mickelsen said the subjects
never complained of
hunger during the diet. He
said this is because bread
fills a person up before he
has consumed the calories
needed to maintain to same
weight. Also, cellulose fiber
and other bulk food stay in
the stomach longer than
other foods. Mickelsen used
only men as subjects, but
said the diet should work for
women also.
In lo cal-cellulose bread,
some starches have been
replaced with the carbohydrate
cellulose which people
cannot digest, according to
Dr. John Anderson, UNCCH
professor of nutrition
who introduced Mickelsen.
"Roughage tends to remain
in the stomach longer,
but passes through the
intestines at a faster rate,"
Anderson said.
Mickelsen said his bread
study was prompted by an
Iranian student who wanted
to find ways to improve
bread quality in her native
country. In Iran, 75 to 80 per
cent of the calories people
consume are in bread.
Wheat by itself is a poor
quality protein food because
it is low in lycine, an
essential amino acid, explained
Anderson. Most
American breads are supplemented
with some other
protein, mainly milk. But
Iran does not add protein
supplements to its bread,
and most Iranians are not
financially capable of supplementing
their diets with
protein foods such as
vegetables, beans, milk,
meat and other animal
sources.
In addition to weight
reducers, lo cal-cellulose
bread diets are beneficial
for diabetics, Mickelsen
said. High fiber intake
reduces the peak level of
blood glucose which enable
the adult-onset type of
diabetics to take less or no
insulin at all, he said. All
juvenile or brittle diabetics
must take insulin, but some
adult-onset diabetics can
use their diets to regulate
sugar in their blood.
Lo cal-cellulose bread also
may help reduce colon
cancer, the leading cause of
cancer death in men.
Anderson explained that
there is a lot of controversy
over this.
"Because of the cellulose,"
Anderson said, "the
transit time of undigested
materials is much shorter.
There is less time for
material to remain in the
colon. Colon cancer is
higher in countries that
consume a lot of processed
foods. But there is a lot of
controversy over this because
they really don't
know; it is all epidemological
evidence rather than biochemical."
Mickelsen also pointed out
the difference between the
cost of diets. "The protein in
steak is twice as expensive
as the protein in bread; in
calories, steak is six times
as expensive. That seems to
speak for itself."
Padula Is Winner
In TV Set Drawing
Arthur H. Padula of Soul
City was the lucky ticket
holder Friday as he won a
12-inch black and white
television set raffled off by
the Young Democrats of
Warren County.
Gen. Claude Bowers drew
the winning ticket Friday in
his office at Bowers and
Burrows Oil Co. in Warrenton.
Floyd B. McKissick, Jr.,
sold the highest amount of
tickets (60) but consolation
prizes of five dollars were
given to John Kearney and
Denise Coleman for selling
tickets. McKissick said that
the purpose of the raffle was
to raise money for future
activities of the club. The
club journeyed to Washington
in January to see the
inauguration of President
Jimmy Carter; funds raised
will go towards educational
projects of that type,
McKissick said.
Some of the money raised
will be set aside for membership
of people who are
interested in the functions of
the club but can not afford
the annual dues.
Tea For One
When you're sitting down
to tea alone, why not steep
yourself in elegance?
Consider making an individual
serving of your favorite
tea in a tempting little teapot
to enrich moments spent
alone. The cup turned upside
down becomes an unusual lid
in this compact tea serving
created by famous British designer
Martin Hunt for Bing
and Orondahl, the Danish
porcelain makers.
It's something different
brewing on the tea scene.
