SCIENCE IN YOUR LIFE Perfect Diet The averagre adult in the United States today consumes enough food to prevent serious nutritional de ficiency diseases. However, this does not mean that he is obtaining enough of the right kind of food to keep him In the “pink of health.” These are the findings of Dr. William H. Sebrell, Jr., of the U.S. Public tiealth Service. This scientist points out that the average diet may not provide children with the i proper food for fc best growth, for V developing resist- ¥. iffllllHll ance to disease, for preventing chronic disease, for ovefcoming*unusual stress asso ciated with Infection or serious ill ness or for sufficient extra energy to keep pace with special childhood drives. Moreover, a survey of 60,000 chil dren In 88 states indicates that diets become poorer as the children grow older. Mothers-to-be, industrial workers and elderly people mso have certain nutritional needs that are not met with the average die^ To meet these nutritional needs, scientists have developed multi- vitamin and mineral products that are intended to supplement the diet Vitamin products—such as Vite^a Tastitabs, candy-flavored soluble tablets designed for use by the en tire famUy help the housewife provide her family with the vitamin and mineral essentials of a “perfect diet.” Without scientific instruments which can accurately measure the vitamin content of the foods she buys, the housewife cannot deter mine if the food on her dinner table is providing her family with the essential health-giving vitamins. But science has come to her aid in a much easier way — by making available the vitamin products to supplement'her family’s diet HAPPY NEW YEAR
