Scientist creates products
for food-conscious people
by Mitch Earle
He is irresistable from the start.
With his avuncular smile and
“old country” accent still in place,
79-year-old Arnold Spicer is
charming his way into the hearts of
America’s diet-and-nutrition-con-
scious. A well-known food tech
nologist and research scientist in
Europe, Dr. Spicer is gaining fame
here for his Nutri Wheat and Nutri-
Yogurt products.
Aside from his line of Spicer’s
International products, the Czech-
oslovakian-born scientist first
gained notoriety for his invention
of artificial blood plasma during
World War II. More recently, he

was selected as one of five food
technology researchers worldwide
to develop the U.S. government’s
NASA space food program.
Spicer is a guest lecturer at U.C.-
Berkeley, M.I.T., Princeton and
Rutgers and currently teaches nu
trition and biochemistry at the
University of Miami Medical
School.
He stresses that “nutrition is one
of the healing arts” and that poor
nutrition will still produce poor
health even if one exercises. On the
other hand, use moderation in at
taining a balanced diet, he cau
tions. “If you want to eat a Mars
bar, eat it. Just not three a day!”
Spicer’s NutriWheat product is
a complete food, combining pro
tein, carbohydrates and fat in bal
anced proportion, yet it is disguised
as a snack. Using a molecular pro
cess which Dr. Spicer patented
after earning doctoral degrees in
chemistry, pharmacology and phy
siology, the high-fiber wheat ker
nel is expanded with air so that its
volume is three times its weight.
The result is no craving after eat
ing, says Dr. Spicer, since the food
remains expanded when it reaches
the stomach muscles, which con
trol food intake.
“It is the only food that has been
expanded,” he says. “To the best of
my knowledge, no other food can
insure complete survival of nut
rients,” he gleefully adds.
His NutriYogurt contains live
lacobacillus acidophilus to create a
wholesome meal-replacement or
nutritional supplement. It is also
proven to be successful in weaning
insulin dependent diabetics off in
sulin, as the soluble fiber regulates

the consumer’s blood sugar level.
Dr. Spicer owes his existence to
a British attache who, in 1939,
arranged for Spicer and his wife to
come under the safety of the Brit
ish flag. Spicer had been working
for the Ministry of Health in Cze
choslovakia and had patented his
process for artificial blood plasma.
Given its application for saving
lives on the battlefields, the British
Embassy arranged with the Czech
Health Ministry for Spicer to agree
to bring his invention to England.
Spicer was in England in March
1939. Hitler was predicted to soon
march into Prague, where Spicer’s
wife remained. When Hitler took
over Prague on April I, Spicer’s
wife was given a fake diplomatic
passport and led to safety in Eng
land. All but one sister (who was
needed in Russia as a dentist) out
of nine of Spicer’s siblings perished
in the Nazi death camps.
On his recent visit to Atlanta,
Spicer was still spry at 7 p.m., after
being interviewed for radio and
television earlier in the day. He was
to leave the next morning for the
West Coast nutrition swing and
then to the lab in Illinois. But it
seems we haven’t heard the last of
Dr. Spicer; perhaps just the begin
ning.

Georgia Law Letter in Atlanta.
