Yogurt has no miracles
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB - My
questions concern yogurt.
Since I love yogurt in gravies
such as Stroganoff, canned
creamed soups and heated in
many other ways can you tell
me if the cultures (Lac
tobacilli Acidophilus and
Bulgaricus) remain active
and continue to help the lower
intestines when yogurt is
cooked? I note that
acidophilus capsules must be
kept cold Since 1 would like to
include these organisms in my
diet and can use yogurt so
many ways in cooking 1 want
to make sure 1 am getting the
same benefit from yogurt in
cooking as from eating it
directly from the refrigerator
in the container
DEAR READER - You are
probably getting the same
benefit from the organisms —
cooked or uncooked — which
is exactly nothing. The whole
idea of eating yogurt for the
colon began with an outstan
ding scientist for his time.
Elie Metchnikoff, a Russian
who became head of the
Pasteur Institute and a Nobel
prize winner.
His contributions to germ
theory were the forerunners
of modern knowledge of im
mune mechanisms. He was in
terested in aging and thought
that “auto-intoxication” from
the colon was an important
factor in staying young. This
resulted in many people hav
ing their colons removed in
the wave of interest in colons
and disease that followed. He
specifically recommended
Lactobacillus bulgaricus
yogurt to remove auto
intoxication from the colon,
and the yogurt faddists mul
tiplied
The lactobacillus may
change the acid-base balance
in the colon which can affect
the types of bacteria living
there but that is about all it
POLLY'S POINTERS
Polly Cramer
Launder mildewed tablecloth
POLLY’S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY — Do you know of anything that will
remove mildew from a tablecloth I crocheted out of cot
ton thread? A flower pot sat on it all winter so mildew
spots appeared under the pot. — PEARL.
DEAR PEARL — You failed to mention the color but
we will presume your cloth is white. Try laundering it
and then spreading out on the grass to dry in the hot sun.
If the stain remains apply lemon juice and salt to damp
spots and put in the direct sunlight. Rinse thoroughly. —
POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with those people who
ask one to baby sit at a certain time and then do not leave until
an hour later and when they return only want to pay for the
time they were gone. The sitter could be doing something else
in the time spent waiting for them to leave so I feel they
should pay from the time they asked the sitter to arrive. —
SUSIE
DEAR POLLY — I have help for the reader whose Pet
Peeve concerned the poor quality material used to make
pockets in men’s pants. A group of keys was playing havoc
with pants pockets so eight years ago I started cutting pieces
the size of the pockets from a sheet of iron-on "tape” and iron
ed them on the pockets, on both sides, before the pants were
ever worn. The pockets now outlast the pants. — EMILY.
DEAR POLLY — I use petroleum jelly on water soaked
leather shoes to make them pliable again. Rub it in with a
cloth when shoes are dry, leave a thin film on for a while and
when they are soft again rub off any excess. — ROSE.
DEAR POLLY — My first grader often comes home from
school with a word he has heard his schoolmates use in a
vulgar way even though the word itself is not vulgar. He asks
what this means so together we look it up in the dictionary,
read the proper meaning and I explain to him in what context
his schoolmates may have been using the word. This gives him
some satisfaction and a balanced attitude and guidance in
good speech. — JOYS.
DEAR POLLY — To clean my typewriter eraser I tape a
small piece of sandpaper to the side of the typewriter. Also an
old emery board kept on one's desk will do the same thing for
any eraser. — JEAN B

does. It does not cure acne,
prevent aging or even cure
constipation.
The cultured yogurt with
Lactobacillus bulgaricus
usually has less lactose in it
and enables it to be digested
by lactose intolerant people
BUT most of the regular com
mercial yogurt in grocery
stores is made differently and
is often a very high lactose
food. I am sending you The
Health Letter number 7-2,
Milk Products: Good and Bad,
to give you more information
on lactose intolerance and
milk products including
yogurt Others who want this
issue can send 50 cents with a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope for it to P.O. box
1551, Radio City Station, New
York, NY 10019
The concern about the
bacteria in the colon is really
misplaced The digestive
process of absorbing nutrients
takes place in the small in
testine — most of it in the first
one to two feet just outside the
stomach The idea then that
lactobacillus will improve
digestion of milk is not on
very firm ground. Milk is not
digested in the colon at all.
The whole game is over by the
time food residue gets to the
coion. The function of the
colon is to regulate salt and
water balance. It absorbs
water when you need it and if
it is irritated you may have
diarrhea because of its dis
turbed function in absorbing
water.
If you enjoy yogurt, use it
because you like it —- cooked
or cold — but don’t expect any
medical miracles from it
either way.
(Because of the volume of
mail Dr. Lamb cannot answer
your letters personally but he
will answer representative
letters of general interest in
his column.)
