Show Cabbage Good for Teeth, Say It Prevents Decay CHICAGO. The cabbage head, long a subject of ridicule in literature litera-ture and song, now may be held high. It has been crowned . with laurels in the medical world. Three Ohio State university scientists, sci-entists, R. C. Burrell, H. D. Brown, and Virginia R. Ebright, reported in trie magazine Food Research that fresh. cabbage ranks high in the list of fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, which helps prevent tooth decay, bone softening and musele weakening. The Journal of the American Medical Med-ical Association, commenting on the findings of the Ohio chemists, said, "The vitamin C requirements of the adult may be supplied by a small portion of coleslaw.' Hot cabbage, however, is not as rich because the cabbage loses its vitamin through cooking. For those that don't like cabbage despite its vitamin value, it is reported re-ported by scientists of the University Univer-sity of North Carolina and Meredith college, Raleigh, N. C, that strawberries, straw-berries, too, are rich in vitamin C. Thirty or forty berries will provide the daily requirement for an adult. |
