HOISTS WARNING NEW YORK (UPI) — Re search is “desperately needed” to determine whether arsenic from agricultural, industrial and domestic uses is being magnified to precarious levels in the food chain or accumulat ing in soil, according to a report at the 168th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society.

Cox of Union Carbide, Charleston, W. Va.

Mon day, doctors said Mrs. Cherrier had suffered a stroke and could not continue as a juror. The government refused to let the other 11 jurors decide the case.

(UPI) I x-1 Dr. Lamb Iron overdose is possible By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB - I have just heard something that has upset me. I take iron medicine in liquid form called Feosol Elixir. On the bottle it says take a teaspoon three times a day. I took it that way at first, but I became so red I cut down to a teaspoon once a day, and I feel so good and people say 1 look robust and healthy. I have just heard that if one takes too much iron one can get cirrhosis of the liver. Is that so? I have always thought drinking caused that. I’m so upset I feel like can celling all the iron medicine, but I don’t want to sink back into anemia. I had a stomach operation and have been told what’s left doesn’t take enough iron from the food I eat. Please let me know what I should do. DEAR READER - It is true that you can take too much iron. Ordinarily the small intestine will regulate the amount of iron absorbed, and it will also eliminate some iron. The balance stays in the body. Ordinarily there is no problem of taking too much iron, but you can over whelm your digestive system with iron medicine. This is why you should not take iron except on the advice of your physician. It is usually all right for women to take the amount they get in standard daily vitamin tablets, partic ularly during the childbear ing years. In these cases they need the iron to make up for blood loss. A few other people need increased amounts of iron, such as those with trou ble absorbing food from the digestive tract. You may have less acid digestive juice since your stomach operation, and you may need additional iron to prevent anemia. And, de pending upon your problem, you may also need vitamin B-12 shots. The stomach nor mally manufactures a subs tance called intrinsic factor that you need to be able to ab sorb vitamin B-12. Without it .. ■ ■ .<•••. TRY THE NEW HAPPY HOUR FLAVOR.

I xaam fi! x Twal I ■ Rt II It w® UmXmhmm IT’S THE BREW YOU CHEW — Griffin Daily News Tuesday, September 17,1974 you must take shots or you will develop a form of per nicious anemia. I doubt that one teaspoon a day of Feosol Elixer will affect you in any way, but you need a blood test, and it is im portant to know the status of your stomach function. It is true that if you already have liver damage, or in certain forms of anemia, that excess iron can cause liver damage. It is not true that you have to be a heavy drinker to develop cirrhosis of the liver. Many non-drinkers develop this problem from old hepatitis and for other reasons. DEAR DR. LAMB - Is it true that eating too many eggs can make you blind? I know that too much cholesterol is not good, but coming from Germany naturally I use a lot of eggs in everything I can. DEAR READER - I don’t think there is a word of truth in that statement. To the ex tent that a high cholesterol diet is related to fatty cholesterol deposits in the ar teries, it could contribute to changes in the arteries in the back of the eye. Otherwise you can forget about that scare statement. Send your questions to Dr. Lamb, in care of this newspa per, P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Station, New York, N.Y. 10019. For a copy of Dr. Lamb’s booklet on cholesterol, send 50 cents to the same address and ask for the “Cholesterol” booklet.
