fergus Falls (Mn.) Journal Dec. 27, 1972 10 -Food for ThoughtQuestions and answers By JEAN MAYER Professor of Nutrition, Harvard University Q. One often hears nutritionalists glibly refer 1c the "necessary" intake of proteus as somewhere between 50 to 60 grams per day. To me fairly meaningless statement. How can one tell LE getting 60 grams of protein day? A.
Making a rough estimate of your protein intake is a fairly simple matter. An ounce of meat that is relatively lean, or an ounce of fish, poultry or cheese contains, on the average, 7 grams of protein as does one egg. Fattier meats, of course, provide less. An eight-ounce glass milk contains 8 grams of proteins. A serving from the bread and cereal group contains about 2 grams, and a cup of dried peas or beans is about 14 grams or about twice the amount in an ounce of meat.
So if you eat 6 ounces of meat group foods (which adds up to 42 grams), 2 cups of milk (16 grams) and 4 servings (8 grams) from the bread and cereal group you have easily met your protein requirement for the day. Remember, cereal proteins which are not as complete are enhanced by combining them with animal proteins. Eating dry cereal with milk, for instance, is a classic example of how cereal protein is improved in a very natural combination of foods. Protein is one of the nutrients which will be listed in grams per serving, under the new guidelines for nutritional labeling of foods, As more and more companies list the amounts of nutrients on the label, it will become possible for the consumer, say, to compare two cans of corned beef hash and determine by their protein content which is truly the better buy. Q.
I was in a nature food store the other day and noticed a number of products flavored with carob. What is carob? A. Carob is the nature face! store's answer to chocolate. Based on the notion that chocolate or cocoa makes the calcium in milk unavailable, chocolate products have apparently been banished from nature food store shelves in favor of carob. As a result, you see candy bars made with carob, carob-flavored protein drinks, carob-flavored soy tablets, and even carobflavoring mix for cocoa.
Indeed, carob is substituted chocolate and cocoa even when it in no way relates to milk consumption! But the facts are that scientific research indicates that the addition of normal quantities of chocolate or cocoa to milk has no appreciable effect on the availability of calcium. Carob or St. John's Bread as it is also called is the fruit of the locust tree, native to the Mediterranean. While health food devotees claim it has a chocolate-like flavor, the epicurean encyclopedia of foods, Larousse Gastronomie, described it as having an insipid sweet pulp. As ersatz cocoa mix, carob powder with brown sugar sells in the nature Tood store for about three times as much as the supermarket variety of instant cocoa.
To be sure, it is a good idea from the standpoint of reducing the fat content of the diet to substitute cocoa for chocolate, since chocolate has substantially more fat. But substituting carob is a pretty expensive way of avoiding chocolate or cocoa altogether! Q. While discussing rheumatold disease in a recent articte, you meationed that there is a special diet used In the treatment of gout. As a gout sufferer, I'd like to know more of the detalls of that diet. A.
Gout is a condition characterized by abnormally high contents of urie acid in the blood. Since purines, normally found in a great number of foods, break down to form uric acid, it seemed logical to use a Low purine diet to treat gout. More recently, however, it has been recognized that since a great percentage of the purines come from the normal breakdown of body protein and others are synthesized in the liver, severe dietary restriction of purines is unrealistic. In addition, newer drug therapy is more effective. Nevertheless, most physicians do recommend that people with gout eliminate those Foods highest in purines, and this list represents a relatively small sacrifice.
It includes sweetbreads, anchovies, sardines, liver, kidney, meat extracts, brains, mussels and fish roe. Overweight persons with gout also are, of course, encouraged to reduce. Q. Your answer to a question about the calories in powdered cream didn't mention the liquid substitutes. Can you tell me about the calorie content of llquid non- cream products? Are they all right to use cm a reducing diet? A.
The average non-dairy liquid cream substitute contains about 25 calories per tablespoon. 'The same amount of half-and-half contains approximately 20 calories whereas light cream has 30 calories. IE you drink an average of three cups of coffee a day with about 2 tablespoons of non-dairy creamer per cup, you've consumed about 150 calories. Substituting milk for cream could cut about 90 calories, which would mean that you could have a small evening snack and still be even. (Dr.

(AP)- Scotland has scotch. Kentucky has bourbon. Now the Yukon Territory has its own special liquor, too--Yukon Hootch. A blend of Canadian and imported rums, Yukon Hootch went on sale last week throughout the territory in conjunction with Klondike '73, a celebration marking the 75th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush. Produced solely for distribution by the Territorial government, Hootch has an alcoholic content about the same as most standard brands of rum and is being sold in 12-and 25- ounce bottles.
Rollie Thibault, Yukon director of liquor control, said the brew originated during Gold Rush days. Dike building plan revealed CHICAGO (AP) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced today a dike-building program designed to protect low-lying along Great Lakes shores, Introduction of "Operation Foresight" to the Great Lakes was announced by Maj. Gen. Ernest Graves, division engineer for the Corps' north central district.
He said the program prevented more than $100 million in flood damage in the upper Mississippi Valley in 1970 and 1971. A Corps spokesman said the program was precipitated by the autumn flooding along Lake Erie in Michigan and Ohio. He expects most of the work done under the program to be along Lake Erie shores and Sagina Bay area of Lake Huron. Graves stressed that the primary flood-control effort must be done by local govern- C'ervice HAPPY TO NEW YEAR YOU ALL MARKET, Best Wishes in the New Year HI -C DRINKS FLAVORS 46-OZ.

Welfare estimates were undercounted NEW YORK (AP) A citycommissioned study has concluded that the 1970 U.S. census undercounted the number of welfare cases here by 39 per cent, an error which could be costing the city some federal aid funds.
Similar miscounts probably occurred in other cities, according to Edward Blum, vice president of the New York CityRand Institute, which prepared the study that" was released Monday, Blum said a "very crude" estimate was that the city could be losing between $10 million and $40 million each year in federal revenue-sharing as a result of the error. It now gets just over $200 million a year. Dr. Bernard R. Gifford, president of the institute, said money from other census-based programs sponsored by Model Cities, the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare also could be affected.
The institute, a nonprofit organization that studies city problems, noted in its report the cen515 concluded there were 291,000 welfare cases in New York City in 1969, for which the city paid out about $520 million. The city Department of Social Services, however, welfare cases on its rolls and paid out more than $883 million in that year. The Rand study said the Census Bureau reported its figures without first checking them with the city. The report concluded that the undercount occurred either because the census takers did not find those on relief because DE their mobility or because the people on welfare, perhaps out of embarrassment, failed to report they were on relief. "It's very likely that this error has happened in other cities," said Blum.
"There's a good chance that census data are significantly derestimating the number of poor families and poor individuals in the big cities of the country, and as a result they would be short-changed in lederal aid."

The corps said the dikes are designed to provide temporary protection from flooding produced by wind -driven waves. Winds in Great Lakes storms can raise the water level up to six feet in certain areas.
Operation Foresight does not address itself to beach or shoreline erosion caused by wave action, a common problem in the Great Lakes. The corps said recent studies indicate Operation Foresight could be applied to the Great Lakes. The program will begin with field surveys potential flood areas and meetings with local authorities to decide on joint plans.
