DEFENDING the Senate
bill rescinding President
Ford’s tax on imported oil,
Sen. Russell Long (D-La.),
chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, said
Congress hopes to unveil an
alternative oil-conservation
program before the 90-day
postponement of Ford’s
proposed tax expires.
Dr, Lamb
Raw food:
can it hurt?
DEAR DR. LAMB - Is it
possible for a person to live on a
diet of entirely raw foods
provided the diet is balanced,
utilizing the four basic food
groups, and the meats and fish
are free of parasites and ger
ms? Can a person become ad
justed to such a diet and live
healthily, maybe more so than
on a conventional diet?
DEAR READER -
Theoretically, yes. Raw meat,
raw vegetables, raw cereals
and all such raw foods can be
digested with ease by the body.
That is not the problem.
The big problem is that food
is a good way to spread disease.
Man has survived the bacteria
and parasites of the world
largely by the use of cooking.
We think of cooking to make
foods good to eat, but the real
truth is that cooking is a health
procedure.
It is hard to obtain meat that
you can be certain is free of
harmful bacteria. And, since it
is food for germs as well as peo
ple, if you are not able to keep it
in a sterile environment, even
germ-free food will soon
become contaminated with ger
ms and they will multiply.
Cooking food and boiling
water kills the germs and
parasites. That applies to
chicken, pork, beef, vegetables
and even milk. A host of dis
eases was once spread by milk
in our society. That is why the
process of pasteurization was
developed. The rapid heat
process destroys germs that
would otherwise multiply as the
milk sat around waiting to be
used.
Boiling water makes it possi
ble for man to use water in
many parts of the world. It is
still true that if you are in a
country where the water might
be contaminated with germs
that you can boil the water, or if
they have a hot water system
you can be fairly safe using the
water from the hot water tap.
The temperature is usually too
hot for too long for germs to
survive in any significant
number in the hot water
system.
You need to be particularly
careful about the source and
preparation of raw foods, as in
salads.
After the germs are
destroyed by cooking, you can
prevent them from multiplying
in sufficient number to make
you ill by keeping the food cold.
That is the purpose of refrigera
tion. It is not just to have cold
food. A potato salad, for exam
ple. can be nearly germ-free
and stored in the refrigerator.
The temperature is so low that
bacterial growth is not very
rapid. But if you take it on a pic
nic and it is allowed to stand for
a long period of time at room
temperature, the bacteria start
multiplying and reproducing
like mad.
By the time the potato salad
is served it is loaded with toxins
produced by the multiplying
bacteria. Then there is an out
break of food poisoning. The
same applies to cream pies,
puddings and other food items.
I know you are trying to have
a healthy diet and eat naturally,
but don’t forget that even
primitive man learned that it
was worthwhile to cook. Don't
ever make the mistake of think
ing that cooking and refrigera
tion are simply for taste. They
are vital aspects of keeping
your food safe for you so you
can be healthy.
