Fold nectarines into omelet
ByAJ

Faod Editor
The dull thing about men’s fashions is that they’re
always so “practical.”
They always put zippers and buttons in the front of
their clothes where they can see to fasten them. They
never let their ankles see daylight. They always have
a jacket handy to slip into and cover their stomachs
after they eat. Their styles are controlled by the
“conservative party,” which has been in power since
they voted out white knee socks and satin breeches.
It was rather predictable that during a recent
transit strike in New York, men started to wear
sneakers with their “serious suits” to work just to be
comfortable when they walked long distances.
However, the real shocker is that the strike is over
and men are still wearing their sneakers. I never
thought I’d live to see the day when Prof. Irwin Corey
and my husband would be trend-setters.
With Prof. Corey, it’s an act. With my husband, it’s
a statement against style. He started wearing gym
shoes ten years ago when he began to jog. “Healthy
feet are my life,” he would say dramatically. I went
shopping with him just once for a pair of running
shoes. With three more days, he could have created a
world. We saw the inner sole dissected ... the con-
struction blueprint of th heel ... the stress areas
diagrammed.<>We looked at them in mirrors, in a
crouchihg position and under an X-ray machine. He
paid more for them than our wedding pictures. He
never takes them off.
It’s like traveling with Woody Allen. He walks into a
room and just in case no one notices he’s wearing blue
sneakers with an 18-inch optic yellow cushioned
tongue and grip-fast shoestrings with a star on each
heel with a dress suit, he calls attention to it. “Yes,
these little babies have carried these legs over the
finish line at Boston, San Diego and Phoenix,” etc.
I think there’s more to it than just “comfort.” I
think “conservatives” are once again flexing their
muscles and saying, “I’m sick of being told by my
mother, my wife and my employer to wear ‘hard’
shoes. I’m sick of being told I have to wear a tie to be
dressed up or a coat to be allowed to eat dinner in a
restaurant with valet parking. From here on in, I
wear what I want, when I want, and where I want.
As my hostess welcomed my husband the other
night, she whispered, “What’s he supposed to be?”
“Simple. From the ankles up, he’s Ivy League.
From the ankles down, Little League.”
While nectarines are at
their peak this summer, take
advantage of their juicy
sweet-tartness by folding
them into an omelet.
This impressive dessert is
baked to puffy perfection,
filled with rum-glazed necta-
rines, folded dnd topped with
more nectarines and custard
sauce. (The rum may be omit-
ed, if you prefer.)

Johnny Latimer reported the
Sunday boat races here were a
“terrific success, even with the
high temperatures.” The
sponsoring Jaycees and local
boat enthusiast had collected
small packet items from local
merchants to give the tourists.
The packets contained maps,
information about the county
and advertising pieces from the
merchants. Latimer and B & E
TV video taped the races. That
tape may be available in the
future for various service club
programs, according to
Latimer.

It was suggested that the

Shoppers in a nationwide
survey were asked whether
vitamin C added to a fruit drink
gives the same benefit as an
equal amount of vitamin C from
fresh oranges. Sixty percent of
the shoppers answered “no."
But they were incorrect
The fact Is that natural and
added vitamin C give the same
benefit. Chemists and phar-
macists have said for years that
any vitamin has the same
properties whether it is natural
or “Synthetic.” Vitamins are
the same chemical substances
no matter where they are found.
Forty-one percent of the food
shoppers incorrectly thought
that people cannot stay healthy
if they never eat meat, poultry
or fish. In truth, people can stay
healthy without eating these
protein sources if they eat
alternative foods such as milk,
cheese or eggs. Dairy products
not only provide high quality
protein, but also essential
nutrients such as vitamin B12,
calcium, vitamin D, and
riboflavin.
A large number of shoppers
interviewed — approximately
four out of every 10 agreed with
the statement, “If you just eat a
variety of foods from the
supermarket, you will get
enough nutrition." Eating a
variety of foods IS important,
but it’s not the same as selec-
ting the appropriate foods for a
nutritionally-balanced _diet.
Selecting food for nutritional
value means choosing from the
four food groups of vegetable-
fruit; bread—cereal; milk-
cheese; meat—eggs, according
to Dairy Council, Inc. dietitians.
Selection as well as variety is
the key to preparing nutritious
meals.
Almost a fourth of the food
shoppers interviewed believed
that anyone who weighs the
right amount is' receiving
proper nutrition. Proper weight
is important to good health, but
cannot reveal vitamin and
mineral deficiencies.
The American Dietetic
Association has gathered a list
of commonly accepted food
fallacies. The following
fallacies and facts are from that
list.
Fallacy: Toast has fewer
calories than bread.
Fact: Toast is bread that has
been dried and browned.,
Toasting decreases the water
content but does not change the
calorie content since water has
no calories.
Fallacy: Margarine contains
fewer calories than butter.
Fact: This is not true. The
calorie content of a weight of
butter is exactly the same as
the calorie content of an equal
weight of margarine.
Fallacy: Grapefruit in the
diet burns up calories.
Fact: No single food has
weight reduction properties.
Limitations of the diet to one ;
food will no doubt enable one to ;
lose weight, but the body’s ;
nutritional health cannot be-'
maintained on any one food.
Fallacy: Adults do not need
milk. Only young children need
it.
Fact; The slogan “You never
outgrow your need for milk” is
a true one. Children need the
calcium to build bones and teeth
while adults need calcium to
prevent brittle bones and
deterioration with age.

Leg cramp conflict *
te-i
<V o •*■+<«
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’m 71
and active and I hope healthy
but I’ve had leg cramps off
and on for 40 years. I thought
it was a circulatory problem
and did nothing about the
cramps until I heard about
vitamin E. I now take 200
units daily and very rarely
have any cramps. If I do, I
take 400 for a couple of days
and then return to my previ-
ous level.
Some of my friends who are
doctors have said that if you
have a balanced diet you don’t
need vitamins but when I ask
about this, they just shrug.
What do you think about this?
DEAR READER - In
general, there are no diseases
in humans that appear to be
cured by vitamin E. It’s
almost impossible to cause a
vitamin E deficiency in man.
Our metabolic system is quite
different from the animals
that require vitamin E for
normal health.
I’m sending you The Health
Letter number 4-12, Vitamin
E: Miracle or Myth, to give
you more information about
this vitamin and to help clari-
fy some of the health misin-
formation widely circulated
about it. Other readers who
want this issue can send 75
cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it.
Send your request to me, in
care of this newspaper, P.O.
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019. Now, a
vitamin E deficiency can
cause a form of anemia in
premature infants
And you will be particularly
interested to know that there
is some evidence that taking
vitamin E will relieve leg
cramps in some people. Many
doctors who have used this
have told me about it and
there are some research stud-
ies that help to support this,
although there are other stud-
ies that conflict with these
conclusions
I think anyone who has leg
cramps should have a medical
examination to find out what
the underlying cause is. That
will help avoid the possibility
of neglecting a serious medi-
cal problem while just taking
vitamins. If there’s no other
underlying problem that
needs attention, there isn’t
ney beans at their lower end.
That’s what causes the horse-
shoe shape. These kidneys
function in a perfectly normal
manner. If you happen to
develop a stone or renal infec-
tion, that might involve both
kidneys.
I think it’s highly unlikely

E for leg cramps.
Many readers tell me that
wearing heavy socks to bed
helps prevent leg cramps at
night These should be long
socks well above the calf
Other means of keeping the
legs warm at night also seem
to help.
DEAR DR. LAMB - About
a year ago I was being pre-
pared for abdominal surgery.
X-rays showed a deformity in
the kidneys It seems that
when the kidneys were sup-
posed to have split forming
two kidneys during fetal
development, mine didn't.
Consequently, I have one very
large kidney which the doc-
tors call a horseshoe kidney.
My doctor said there is no
danger other than the chance
that if I were in a wreck and
the doctor tried to remove a
kidney it would be the only
one I had. I’d like your views
on this subject.
DEAR READER - I
wouldn't worry about it. It is a
rare birth defect. In all proba-
bility, you do have two
kidneys The usual abnormali-
ty is that the two kidneys are
fused at their lower end just
like joining together two kid-
that a surgeon would remove
your one kidney. The unusual
shape of the horseshoe kidney
would alert him at once to the
problem.
