HOUSTON GOUDISS Beat MU Stnet, Niw Ink Hr. ACIDITY is the topic of the hour. On every side we hear people complaining that they have too much add in their systems, that they suffer from add stomach, add headaches, add mouth, addosis. In fact, most adults fancy themselves victims of a great battle between add and alkaline forces, f , i I ; with the add having the bet--e ter of it. They confuse gastric acidity which is entirely normal, for the healthy stomach is always strongly acid with the potential acidity of foods which leave an acid residue following digestion. And many of them are convinced that they should take drastic steps to overcome the danger of acidosis. The Vogue of Acidosis There are fashions in disease, just as in dress, home furnishings and automobiles. Ten years ago, we heard much about the evils of autointoxication, and it was some time before people realized that they had been misled by the ex- treme claims of those had who some sort of remedy to sell. And now it is acidosis that is the most talked of complaint. Friends caution one another against this or that food, with the mistaken idea that it causes or aggravates an acid condition. Food faddists have frightened thousands by suggesting that acidosis is brought about by mixing various kinds of foods. - Health Endangered Indeed, we have come to a point where the fear of a acid condition is assuming proportions which indicate the possibility of real trouble unless the American people get the true facts and put aside these foolish delusions. Physiologists believe that fear and worry have a detrimental effect on digestion, and, in turn, on the general health. Thus eating meals in constant fear of acidity may upset the digestion and bring about the very symptoms that you are trying to avoid. One writ known authority contends that perhaps 90 per cent of digestive distress, attributed to the kind or combinations of food eaten, is actually due to unfavorable mental or emotional states, and other causes such as even when fatigued, or consuming at one meal too many foods that are difficult to digest. It, therefore, becomes apparent that thousands of people are contributing to their own discomfort as a result of fear, Ignorance, or a blind belief In misleading claims which are opposed to scientlfle facts. able minerals which are required in large amounts to maintain op- timal health. Some foods, such as meat, fish, eggs and cereals, leave an acid ash because the predominating minerals are phosphorus, chlorine and sulphur. Other foods, chiefly milk and most fruits and vegetables, leave an alkaline ash because the remaining minerals are principally calcium, magneand sodium. sium, potassium These are the foods. Besides the alkaline ash and acid ash foods, there is a group of foods, including sugar, cornstarch and purified fats, which are so highly refined that no minerals remain after they are burned; and some other foods, such as butter and cream, leave a balance of the two types at ash. Thf se are known as neutral foods. base-formi- it Cannot Trust Your Tongue The sense of taste cannot be relied upon as a guide In determining which foods are acid and which alkaline. For example, cereals, which are bland to the taste, have an acid reaction following digestion. Bread, likewise, is acid forming, although you would not suspect that fact from its taste. On the other hand, potatoes, though somewhat similar to bread in flavor and food value, are one of our most valuable alkaline foods, and dried lima beans are the most highly alkaline of any food known. If it seems curious that such bland foods should have an acid ash, you may find it even harder to believe that oranges, lemons, grapefruit, peaches and tomatoes, which taste acid in the mouth, leave an alkaline ash following digestion. But the fact is that the body performs a clever bit of chemical engineering and the final effect on the blood is alkaline. Homemaker's Responsibility diet must include A balanced sufficient over-eatin- it Acidosis Uncommon The danger is not from acidosis, but from the fear of this bugbear, and from self medication in the belief that certain remedies are required to overcome a fancied condition. For in spite of the large amount of acid produced in metabolism, the blood normally remains remarkably constant and slightly alkaline, due to a highly efficient buffer system. Perhaps you wonder, if this is so, why doctors and dietitians talk so much about the acid-babalance. se The Add-Bas- Balance e To understand this you must know that every phrase, food leaves an ash when burned in the body, bsse-formi- neutralise foods to ng and counter-balanc- e AROUND th.

That is (me reason why it is so important for the homemaker to provide her family with plenty of milk, fruits and vegetables, in addition to the necessary meat, fish, eggs and cereals. In general, one is likely to feel g better when . foods predominate, at least slightly, in the diet over g foods. Some authorities believe that this may be due not so much to their effect on the acid-bas- e balance as to the fact that they provide such splendid amounts of vitamins, minerals and fiber. However, one must not make the mistake of becoming so enthusiastic over building a highly alkaline diet that one overlooks good foods necessary to round out a balanced diet.

Extensions at the sides may also be used so the draperies will cover less of the window, giving more view and sunlight.
