The Basic Seven Group II Holding down the second spot on the Basic Seven chart is the food group that is known for the Vitamin ( C, or ascorbic acid, it adds to the body. It includes: Oranges, tomatoes,' grapefruit, raw cabbage, salad greens and the like. Other foods c-ititcin Vuumin C but much of it is lost under storage eon-J ditions and in preparation and cook-( - n TT ..nlllT r A ing. Foods in oroup n imuni'j eaten raw and this way usually supply more than one-third of the Vitamin C we consume. Important? Yes indeed these foods are important. The ascorbic acid they contain works together with other substances to keep up health and gen eral resistance. In addition its spec ial job is to form binding materials in body tissues. Just as the bricks in a well need mortar, or the shingles on a roof need nails, the tissues in the body need this cement-like sub stance to hold tneir cells togemer, and Vitamin C is equipped to do the1 job. Persons who get too little Vitamin C fici that tluir teeth and bones lose calcium and become fiasile; blood vessels get wculv and iupture! under slight pressure and visible bruise spots appear. The nose some times bleeds; gums become spongy and bleed easily; joints are sensi tive and swollen. We Need Thee Every Day Since the body can store this im portant element only in limited amounts it is important that all per sons eat some of the foods in this group every day. This isn't limited to growing children. It applies equal ly to grandmothers and babies. Scurvy, a disease which was so common in Europe when Columbus discovered America, occurs when Vitamin C is lacking. English settl ers in New England suffered a great deal from scurvy and soon learned to fight it by eating frnits or the products of germinated grain. To make sure there would be no scurvy among his men. Admiral Richard E. Byrd took dried orange and lemon powder along on his trip to the Antarctic. That was before much was known about ascorbic acid and before it wag possible to make it in the laboratory. During World War I, England increased the Vita min C in the diet of the wounded In hopes that it would speed healing by binding their body cells together. In this war our own government has made efforts to insure our fighting men diets which are rich in Vitamin C as well as in other important food essentials. j In spite of the fact that since 1920 in this country we have increased our Vitamin C intake, as late as 1942 the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics found that about one-tenth of the people in the LT. S. had diets deficient in Vitamin C. This shows improvement, but more is needed. High incomes and greater consciousness of the funda mentals of nutrition are partly res ponsible for decreasing Vitamin C deficiency. j How Much Is Enough? The National Research Council recommends that an adult man get' 75 milligrams of Vitamin C daily,' and that an adult woman get 70 milligrams. These requirements are met approximately in one-half med ium grapefruit or one medium or-j ange, or two-thirds cup orange or grapefruit juice (canned or fresh) or. j two medium tomatoes, or one and 'one- half cups tomato juice or one and one-eighth cups raw cabbage, j Strawberries and cantaloupes, in season, can replace the above foods as can guaves when they are avail able. Since ascorbic acid is very un stable except In acid foods lilre citrus fruits and toniatoes,, caution should be used in handling these foods. Its destruction is hastened by air, "en zymes and metals like copper and iron. For this reason orange juice should not be strained through a metal strainer. Plastic knives in stead of steel knives should be used in preparing these foods. Another way to keep in the vita mins is to cut these foods in large pieces and to prepare them aa close to serving time as possible. Mrs. Nelson Berger, Cass Co. Nutrition Chm.
