LAMB Nature's Contents Best By Lawrence E. Lamb. M.D. Dear Dr. Lamb I read in one of your articles that we retain vitamins A and D.

Why is it then that all calcium tablets are so full of vitamin D. I have an awful time trying to drink one quart of milk a day to get my calcium and would like to take a calcium supplement but hesitate to do so because of the vitamin content. Dear Reader We retain vitamins A and because they are fat-soluble and tend to be stored in the fats in the body. I agree with you 100 per cent about the problem of vitamin A in so many of the calcium supplements. You can get pure calcium.

however, in tion form from your doctor. It true that wherever you turn these days there seems to be vitamin A and vitamin in everything. You even buy a natural food item in the supermarkets that been fortified with A and and possibly iron. It is almost impossible to get wholesome natural food that hasn't been pepped up with excess vitamins. Rather than those who need vitamins because of specific medical problems going to the drug store to get them, we all get drug store products forced on us at the grocery store whether we need them or not.

Both vitamin A and can cause harm and pleased to note that the Food and THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1973 would be to use canned salmon (eat the bone as well, that will help with providing calcium) and use very generous amounts of dry skim milk powder in food preparation. For example, when you make a pan gravy add appreciably more skim milk powder than you might need for just re- Drug Administration has re- contain vitamins in st cently commented on this of the natural food that Uon of the extra powder and a cutback in they are originally prepared will ve more protein Foods Over-Fortified? the amount of vitamin A and in vitamin preparations. It seems to me a much wiser course would be to cut out all of the excess fortifying of foods with extra vitamins and let them exist in their normal, natural state. A case in point is breakfast food. Many of the breakfast foods contain excess vitamins because of legislative enthusiasm on the part of our congressmen, who I hope know more about the functions of the government than they appear to know about the human body or medicine.

I refer to the insistence that natural wheat and cereal Droducts should from. There is no reason for natural wheat products that have not had the husks or vitamins and minerals removed in food processing to have any additional vitamins added. I would say again, as a physician, I am strongly in favor of people who need them, getting additional vitamins from vitamin tablets or the drug store and letting the rest of us eat our natural foods without sticking all these things in them that nature didn't put there in the first place. Might I suggest one way you can get around your quart of milk a day problem in your diet and more calcium in your diet. You can do the same thing in making reconstituted milk for any home cooking project whether a sauce, bread, a cake, cookies, or anythin that requires milk course, you may find that the fortified skim milk product available to you is also fortified with vitamin D.
