How many myths and rumors about food influence the pack- ages you take to the checkout? An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Carrots are good for the eyes. Spinach is healthy. White eggs are better than brown. Potatoes are fatten- ing. Milk carries Strontium 90. Only eat oysters' in a month with an "R". Refrozen foods can be poisonous. Onions are good for colds while cucumbers cause pneumonia, And dozens more, mostly poppycock. They guided out mothers and many of us in our food shopping. Some have been proven true. Others are completely false. Yet food retailers are - ware that shoppers' carts are some- times guided by superstition despite the staggering knowl- edge of nutrition of modern homemakers. "We have seen sales of some foods drop on the basis of a particularly disastrous medical or scientific theory," said V. T. Barber, director of merchandis- ing of Oshawa Wholesale Ltd., IGA supply depot for southern Ontario. '"'And I believe some shoppers are still influenced by those old sayings about food." APPLE MYTH modern health rules though an American. doctor conducting ~ four-year apple-a-day test died of a heart attack before it was completed, But fresh fruit daily is effective in safeguarding health. Same goes for carrots which, with their high Vitamin C eontent, are beneficial to health generally. But spinach and _ potatoes have had their ups and downs. Spinach spiralled to fame on the basis of Popeye, the comic strip character who consumed it by the ton. The whole conti- nent turned to spinach as a cure for all its ills; for two decades, until science took an- other look at the leafy little plant and decided it could drain valuable calcium from the body. North American children heaved a sigh of relief. Unfor- tunately, they are missing out on an excellent source of vita- mins and iron. BLAME, POTATOES When the slim figure became the female ideal, potatoes felt the squeeze. Their high starch content was considered the root of all excess avoirdupois and they disappeared from some dinner tables after being the heart of the meal -- sometimes all three meals -- for genera- tions. Actually, an average pota- Milk is under fire just now as a carrier of Strontium 90. According to some scientists, milk is no more susceptible to Strontium 90 than many other foods.

She was jealous be- cause her sister had a seat by me. stand in the confusing battle of food fads and facts? Her greatest assurance lies in the continuing research of both scientists and food processors, Mr. Barber said. "Food manufacturers are put- ting to' work all the reasearch facilities at their disposal to pro- duce nutritional foods and to discover at the same time the truth or falsity of these myths and claims. "Food retailers are handling food in sanitary, controlled con- ditions that ensure quality right to the hands of the consumer. "No doubt the coming months and years will see other myths exploded and new scares trig- gered.

This pattern has been repeated consistently. I feel that if she had to go hun- gry because of her own choos- ing, she might be broken of this obnoxious trait." I agree with this aunt. Of course she hardly could inter- fere or give advice. She had to "grin and bear it." It's easy to guess that this whimsical, pouting child had be- haved the same way scores or hundreds of times before, and that she usually won her way by pouting or throwing a tan- trum. Only recently, I saw a boy, about five years: old, when of- fered a bun, throw it on the table and say he didn't want that one. The father took the bun and gave the lad another. But the youngster still pouted and ate very little breakfast. As I looked on, I wished the father had made sure this boy did not receive another bun or even the one he threw on the refuse to do it. suddenly decides he doesn' want the toast with butter and jam.
