Lauritzen thousand children ighty ed eye health with a broad spectrum of nutrients ranging from vitamins A through E, protein, calcium and rutin. Most of which are milled out of or destroyed by chemical additives during the processing of the food By far the greatest percentage of children with healthy eyes were born to mothers, who in addition to eating proper foods, used no tobaccc, alcohol, or soft ii hlu.d each year because of I mill nutrition. One of every two of these ihildren die.

Therefore, a proper vitamin supply for newborn infants is of prime importance to visual health. Of course, vitamin A is considered the most vital of these nutrients in relation to ocular appear When light strikes pathology. the rods and cones in the eyes, some of this vitamin is destroyed in the vision forming I'nless this vitamin process. is continually replaced in the body, blindness will develop. On the other side of the nutrition coin, it has become in creasingly obvious to researchg the number of chemical additives in our food and water supply, many of which are toxic to humans, are also contributing factors in widespread eye damage and greater overall ill health to the nation as a whole; far greater in fact than the government will admit. These additives listed by ers, ever-growin- National of Academy in bulletin 398 of the National Research Council, in the main, have never the Sciences been appropriately tested for human consum) lion, just added to our food at the whim of big business with nothing but the profit motive in mind. Many GQcdd foreign countries have passed laws prohibiting the use of such additives in food and water. During the years from 1940 to 1960, the general population of the United States rose by 36 percent compared toa whopping 67 percent increase in the blind population during the same period. And this began increasing at an alarming rate about six years ago! according to the U.S. Public Health Service. Research has shown time and again sodium nitrates is a natural enemy of, and destroys vitamin A which is most important to eye health. And in 1962, the W'orld Health Orissued a strong ganization ho auQltetocl it does to his health or how strongly he protests. Carrying this a bit further, one would hardly think the bleach used to lighten the color of hair for example, would ever find its way into our food. But you guessed it, hydrogen peroxide as well as a product called oat gum are added relentlessly to every drop of milk you buy from the local retailer. Or how about some good, old flavored smoke fashioned cheese? Here we find calcium propionate, calcium citrate, sodium citrate, chloramine T, acetic acid, FD & C yellow 3 aluminum sulfate, hydrogen peroxide and pyroligneous acid have all beer added in an effort to help Dig business increase sales of products with otherwise limited sales potential. Then there is beer. Even this old standby didnt escape the food adulteration experts. No sir! They found a home for tons and tons of such items of questionable food value as podextrin, hytassium drochloric acid, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, then, n very thoughtfully added B, an antibiotic, just in case the stuff was unsafe for human consumption. These examples represent only a tiny fraction of the chemicals you get in your foodeverv day, bread, butter, cereals and processed foods of all kinds are full of the stuff. So all in all, it would seem the chemical business is booming on a grand scale never before attained in the history of the world, even though it does cost the eyesight and health of the American people! Many feel the price is too high. The only way to be sure you are getting a proper nontoxic diet is to prepare youi own food and leave these products of chemical science on the grocers shelf. Read the labels very carefully and skip all the fancy looking packages that are a hazard to human health. And a good strong letter to your congressman would also be a step in tiie right Americans suffer from some sort of eye deficiency and most of it could have been prevented during infancy. One major problem which stood in the wav of progress was, of course, lack of a proper understanding of the matter at the time. ket various products for inThat obstacle has 'ong since fants, which contain sodium nitrates though not shown on the been overcome however, only to be replaced by another, even label.

Today, over 90 million and welfare of the nation, if it runs counter to die interests of big business, is something akin to that of getting a City T affic Engineer to install a stop sign to protect human lives. It simply doesnt work. There are many reasons why these officials side with big business, but the following account of musical chairs explains part of it very clearly.
