About Mineral Salts
H> C. ELIZABETH I.YMA \, M. It.
BIO-CHEMISTRY, one of the more
modern offsprings of medical
science, is continually supplying us
with startling facts concerning food and
dairy products. (
Just recently I came to know one of
those physicians who has made a special
ty in food investigations and learned that
he had spent practically all of the last 15
years in tracking botulism, which is a
food poison, to its lair.
Botulism first made its recognized ap
pearance in this country about a decade
ago and the publicity given those first
cases nearly ruined the ripe olive indus
try in California. Though it was not gen
erally know n, there wore more evidences
of this deadly poison found in canned
spinach than in ripe olives. Also it was
found that there were more fatalities re
sulting from home-canned vegetables
than from factory-prepared foods.
There had been outbreaks of this poi
son plague in Europe, but it had always
been traced to meats—sausages and
smoked meats. In this country, except in
foreign colonies, the poison had always
been traced to canned vegetables. The
reason for this remarkable difference
was finally found. In Europe they had
eaten these meats without cooking them,
whereas they had always made a prac
tice of cooking or heating their canned
vegetables. In the United States we had
served the vegetables from the cans as a
salad or cold as a relish and nearly al
ways cooked our smoked meats. Heat,
as the bio-chemist will tell you, kills the
hotulinus germ.
Many cases of botulism in this country
have been fatal only to the housewife,
who, on opening a can of spoiled food,
tasted it to test it and then cooked it. The
Brussels Sprout* Salad
1 No. 2 can Brussels sprouts, lettuce, Roque
fort dressing.
Add three tablespoons of grated Roquefort
cheese to an ordinary h'rench dressing, with
enough paprika to color it well. Drain the
sprouts, arrange on ^ttuce leaves and serve.
Stuffed Beat*
1 No. 2 can beets, ’i No. 2 can lima beans or
peas, seasoning to taste, butter, parsley.
Select large beets for this dish and hollow
each one out deeply, t'ut the part removed into
small pieces and heat with the peas or lima
beans. Heat the beets also and drain them
veil, season with butter, pepper and salt and fill
wiih the other vegetables, also well seasoned.
Stick a bit of parsley in each beet cup.
cooking killed the poison and thus saved
the rest of the family, but the housewife
was stricken. So, you see, it pays to cook
canned foods. I might state here that
preserved foods—that is, foods pre
served in sugar—have not been known
to cause botulism.
Canned spinach and other vegetables
are very wholesome and contain all the
vitamins and mineral salts present in the
home-cooked variety. The spinach is
first washed for sufficient length of time
in cold running water to free it of all
grit and dirt and sand. Then it is packed
in the can. water added, the can sealed
and then heated by steam to a degree
prescribed by the government and th*
canners’ laboratory. That is also the
process with other vegetables.
Inasmuch as a great deal of the nutri
tious quality of these canned or home
cooked vegetables is in the water in
which they were cooked, it is poor health
tactics on the part of a housewife to
throw the water away.
This same bio-chemist I mentioned ir
an earlier paragraph told me of an ex
periment along the lines of this "food
water” that illustrates the point. He was
conducting some experiments with a lit
ter of puppies and had them at the hos
pital in w hich he had his laboratory. To
feed the puppies while his experiments
were being conducted he took meat that
had been boiled for soup. After a shor*
time on that diet the puppies contracted
rickets. To cure the rickets the puppies
were put back on a diet of milk and veg
etable pulp. They had simply not been
getting mineral salts enough in their
diet. The mineral salts of the meat had
been left in the hospital soup.
Moral: Don't throw your mineral salts
down the kitchen sink.
