Starch digested
into glucose
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Is it
true that starch has the same
effect on your body as sugar?
Is it equally as dangerous?
DEAR READER - There
really isn’t much difference.
Starch is made up of many
molecules of glucose.
Digestive enzymes break
starch down to glucose which
is absorbed into the circula
tion.
Sugar is a double molecule,
one of fructose and one of
glucose. It is broken into the
two single sugars in the in
testine. The fructose is con
verted to glucose in the body
for energy use. Thus, a
molecule of table sugar ends
up as two molecules of
glucose, and a molecule of
maltose from starch also ends
up as two molecules of
glucose.
A gram of white flour con
tains 3.64 calories (12 per cent
of its weight is water), and a
gram of sugar contains 3.85
calories (essentially water
free). So they are comparable
in calorie content.
Sugar is not dangerous.
Neither is starch. You have
been reading health misinfor
mation. Both sugar and starch
can provide too many
calories. Both must be used in
moderation in certain medical
conditions. Otherwise, both
are important sources of
calories — energy to run your
body.
The carbohydrates in any
food, including fresh fruits
and vegetables, eventually
become glucose before being
used for energy. To give you
more information about these
important foods I am sending
you The Health Letter number

Lemon oil shines
bathroom tiles
\l >
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — We just moved into a house where
the bathroom tiles were heavy with soap. Now that the
tile is washed free of that scum, what can I do to make it
shine again? — H.R.
DEAR H.R. — I presume you refer to tile walls.
Plastic tiles would be treated to a coat of self polishing
wax — do not use polishing wax. Ceramic tiles should
rub to a gloss with a soft cloth unless you used a very
harsh cleanser that has removed the top finish. In that
case try a silicone-type automobile polish.
A letter from Jane E. says that after she had cleaned
the soapy scum off her bathroom tile she dried them and
rubbed with a generous amount of lemon oil. While she
did this to keep water drops from forming and scum ac
cumulating it should impart a certain amount of luster.
Do be careful not to put any of these on the floor or in
side a tub or shower, since someone might have a bad
fall. - POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I know Eunice meant well when she said
she took along a cold water bottle for her dog and then opened
the windows a bit when she had to leave her pet in the car, but
this could still be dangerous on a hot day. According to the
Animal Protection Institute in California “On a hot summer
day the inside of the car heats very quickly. On an 85 degree
day, for example, the temperature inside your car, with the
windows slightly opened, will reach 102 degrees in 10 minutes.
In 30 minutes it will go up to 120 degrees. A dog’s normal body
temperature is 102 degrees F. A dog can withstand a body
temperature of 107-10 degrees F. for only a short time before
suffering irreparable damage to the brain or even death. The
closed car interferes with the dog’s normal cooling process,
that is evaporation through panting. It would be best to leave
the pet at home. — P.R.
DEAR POLLY — I want to tell other recipe collectors that
the best way I have found to keep them is in a magnetic photo
album under the plastic sheets. I can read them easily, they
stay clean and none are ever lost. — MILLIE.
DEAR POLLY — If your family is like mine, finding a pin or
safety pin when it is needed can be a bit of trouble. To solve
our dilemma I made a pin cushion from a smaller type velvet
chair cushion, put a hanger on it and hung it in a prominent
place in the bathroom. Now we no longer have that every mor
ning search for a pin or safety pin. This is a fairly large
cushion so no one has the excuse of not finding it.
If you are afraid the bottom of a metal wastebasket is going
to rust make a no-cost liner from a big plastic bleach bottle. It
can be cut down to the desired size and prevents the chance of
rust. Mine is priceless to me. — LUCILE.

DEAR DR. LAMB — I have
angina pectoris. I take
nitroglycerine for chest pains.
The druggist told my husband
to make sure I replace the
nitroglycerine pills every two
months for they become weak
and are not fresh. My question
is: once I open the bottle, how
long are they usable? Why are
they dated on the bottle for
over a year if they are only
good two months?
DEAR READER - This is
an important point. Many
heart patients are walking
around with useless
nitroglycerine tablets on their
person.
Nitroglycerine tablets re
main effective only if they are
kept stored in a tightly sealed
amber glass — not plastic —
bottle in the refrigerator.
Take out pills only for one
week’s supply, or even for the
day if you use a lot of them.
Never use pills that have been
out of the refrigerated pill bot
tle more than a week. Replace
the entire opened bottle in the
refrigerator within three
months.
You can also tell if the pills
are still active by the reaction
of your tongue.
I think the label on the date
of usefulness of nitroglycerine
tablets should definitely be a
lot more specific than it is to
avoid the confusion many peo
ple face.

The Griffin Daily News presents this feature as
entertainment only. The editors do not believe in
predictions based on astrology or the occult.
For Thursday, Jan. 6, 1977
ARIES (March 21-April 19) if
you apply yourself today you
have away of turning situations
and people around to help you
achieve your particular goals.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Put
into operation quickly any ideas
you may get today that will
benefit your family. Hesitation
could dilute their effect.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You're better today at helping
others sort out their problems
than you are with your own.
Don't hesitate to be of service. It
could be rewarding.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) If
there’s a commercial situation
that needs to be rectified,
today’s the day. You are able to
bring all the factions together.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have
some heavyweights on your side
today who are ready to back you
up in a career situation. They’ll
come forth when they see you
moving.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Let
another state your case today.
Armed with the facts, this person
can do a better job than you
could.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The
friends you should be most
solicitous of today are members
of your family. When the chips
are down, blood is thicker than
water.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Your chances for success are
excellent today because you can
think on your feet. As the situa
tion becomes more challenging,
you become brighter.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Doe.
21) You're sharper than usual to
day in affairs of a material
nature. Seek ways to use this
talent — it could fatten your bank
account.
t CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
i In joint ventures today it’s better
I to keep the reins in your hands.
i Don’t let partners act without
consulting you.
* AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Fob. 19)
I Before making an important
> decision today, dig a little deeper
for facts. You will uncover
’ something very interesting.
PISCES (Fab. 20-March 20)
f Don't hesitate to go to friends to
-1 day for counsel or assistance in
your work or career. They'll be
1 happy to help.
Jan. 6, 1977 u
You're going to be more enter
prising than usual this year.
Others have faith in your pro
jects. If you put the right team
together, it will be a profitable
period.
