Or notice how many breads there are labeled "vitamin-enriched" or "fortified," which means so much of the natural fiber (which contains the vitamins) has been stripped away that some nutrients had to be added back in! I realize that I'm describing more than any one patient's eating patterns. It's the nutritional state of the union that's to blame for what's happening internally to many millions of us.

Optimal Wellness Ralph Golan, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

Just twenty years ago when I was a medical student, the only clinically relevant nutritional information that I can remember being taught was to restrict salt for high blood pressure, restrict sugar for diabetes, and supplement with iron for anemia. Also, we were taught what the eight essential amino acids were. For the most part, however, nutrition and medicine seemed to be in two entirely different worlds. Conventional nutritional safeguards at that time, the "four food groups" and the Recommended Dietary Allowances, served to protect us primarily against diseases of blatant malnutrition.

New FDA standardizations make it easier for consumers to rely on factual nutritional information. Not only are consumers now able to determine the amount of calories in a particular item, they also are given information about the number of calories from fat and the amount of saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, protein, sodium, and vitamins and minerals in a given product.

Essential Fatty Acids It is an unfortunate fact that much of the nutritional information generally available today fails to mention essential fatty acids. To maintain good health, we need to consume two essential fatty acids: linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid). Both are polyunsaturated fatty acids and are found in many seeds and nuts, vegetable oils, and some meats. Some examples of linoleic acid-rich foods are safflower, sunflower, corn, soy, and walnut oils, and wild game, especially game birds.

The bottom line is that consumers have a legal right to know about cholesterol and fat in the food supply; but when it comes to pesticides in the food supply, consumers have no such right. Recent reports have focused on the risk to children posed by chemicals in the food supply.

First, it should guarantee the consumer nutritional information by requiring the manufacturer to list all additives containing MSG and hydrolyzed vegetable protein and do so under these names and not disguised names. Second, it should conduct open hearings on the safety of these additives with scientific testimony from those not connected to the food manufacturing industry or to the manufacturers of MSG, NutraSweet® or hydrolyzed vegetable protein, or their representatives.
