Health Foods, Diet Pills Can Be Hazardous To Health By Charles Blackburn Duke University Medical Center Health foods, kerosene, miniature button batteries and diet pills are among things that can be hazardous to your health, accord ing to the director of the Duke University Poison Control Center. Every year, the center gives emergency medical advice to thousands of callers via its toll free number, 1-800-672-1697. According to Dr. Shirley Osterhout, the incidence of childhood poisoning is on the rise in spite of public awareness cam paigns and child-proof caps on medicine bottles. "The number of toxic household chemicals in the average home has increased, and so has the rate of accidental poisonings," she said. Six out of 10 poisonings reported every year involve children under age of five, Osterhout said. The Poison Control Center's number should be kept by the telephone. "It's also a good idea to have syrup of ipecac on hand," she said. "It induces vomiting and is recommended in the event of cer tain kinds of poisoning. Syrup of ipecac is effective, relatively inex pensive and can be bought without a prescription at most drug stores. But it should be used only if the Evangelical Mathod/st Church 604 W.

Diet pills pose a significant threat particularly to teenagers who may be taking the non prescription pills without the ad vice of a doctor or parent. She said the pills contain a dangerous drug that can cause seizures if an over dose is taken. "New sources of poisoning are emerging in our complex society, creating constant challenges in tox icology for the emergency room physician," Osterhout said. For example, she cited health foods as potential sources of poisoning. "People are reading these little books or magazine ar ticles and then loading up on amino acids, or eating kelp (seaweed) that could be .con taminated with mercury and arsenic. Large doses of certain vitamins can also be dangerous," she said. Bee pollen and herbal teas are examples of things that could possibly cause allergic reactions in some people, she said. "Health foods have fallen be tween the cracks," Osterhout said. "They're not labeled in many cases, and the EPA and FDA don't regulate them. Nobody regulates them and it's hard to find our in formation about these various pro ducts." Polyunsaturated Fats Are Important To Diet By Rebecca C. Smith Hoke Health Center Polyunsaturated fats and oils are important elements in your dai ly diet. Two to three tablespoons of polyunsaturated fat should be used daily. This can be in the form of unsalted salad dressing or margarine or oil used in cooking. Oils are cholesterol-free and do not contain sodium. Although low in cholesterol, mayonnaise and most margarines do contain some salt, but they are still acceptable for use. Other commercial salad dress ings should be avoided because they contain large amounts of salt. U is generally agreed that we all eat too much fat. It is, however, important to make changes not on ly in the amount of fat but in the kind of fat eaten. The chart below lists those fats which are not recommended: Recommended/ Polyunsaturated safflower oil corn oil cottonseed oil soybean oil sesame seed oil sunflower seed oil polyunsaturated margarine mayonnaise unsalted salad dressing Not Recommended/ Saturated butter vegetable shortening vegetable fat bacon, salt pork suet, lard chicken fat, meat fat coconut oil hydrogenated vegetable oil palm kernal oil For occasional use only: peanut oil olive oil Here is how to use this informa tion, Look at the. amount of polyunsaturated and saturated fats. If the margarine contains at least twice as much polyun saturated as saturated fat, then it is recommended. If the margarine contains less than twice as much polyun saturated as saturated fat, then it is not recommended. To determine if the margarine is recommended or not recommend ed, divide the number of grams of polyunsaturated fat by the number of grams of saturated fat. If the answer is 2 or higher, the margarine is recommended. If a margarine does not contain a nutrition label, look for one that does. Manufacturers occasionally change product ingredients so read the label each time you select a product ? even if it's one you're ^ used before. Label-reading can be helpful with many other products, too! The following beverages are satisfactory for use since they con tain very small amounts of fat or cholesterol and little or no sodium: water, skim milk, fruit juices, fruit drinks, coffee, tea, carbonated beverages, beer, table wine, and g alcohol. However, if you are trying to lose weight and need to limit calories, you may wish to avoid those beverages which give you calories without giving' you nutri tional value. Such drinks include: sugared carbonated beverages and fruit drinks, beer, wine and alcohol. ?
