"I pointed out that milk by Itself was such an excellent food, that no matter what you put with it, even cereal box-tops, the rats would do well. "We had an extra row of cages so we tried feeding a group of rats a mixture of 25 percent box top, dry skim milk, sugar and raisins. To no one's surprise these rats did about as well as half or two-thirds of those fed breakfast food cereals and water." No Standard Ratio The cereal companies Kel-logg's, General Mills and Quaker Oats said they had standard grain-to-sugar ratio for their cereals.

Kellogg's said it keeps calories per ounce constant by reducing cereal-grain content as sugar is added. Its nutritionists establish its cereal formulations and fortification levels, a spokesman said. General Mills said its cereals are formulated to meet the wants, desires and needs of the market. Quaker Oats said its cereal standards are spelled out in the lab, not in a general policy statement. A consumers' group in Buffalo which is currently fighting General Mills' testing of a new pre-sweetened product there, says it is about to write a luper-Right" Fully Cooked "Super-Right" Quality re lb.

Attacking Commercials Television advertising of sugar-coated cereals has also been the target of consumer mortar fire spearheaded by the mothers of Action for Children's Television. ACT wants all advertising taken off children's TV programs. Last March, as the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs opened hearings, ACT filed a petition with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against several companies, berating their "unfair and misleading advertisements" of such products as Sir Grapefellow, Cap'n Crunch, Vanilly Crunch and Froot Loops.

The FTC has taken no action on the ACT petition, and probably won't now that it has formed a committee, which in-cludes ACT and Robert Choate, to devise new rules for television advertising to children. The rules will cover advertising products high in sugar content as well as toys and other products, an FTC spokesman said. There will also be regulations on the number of ads to run in an hour. When the rules are drafted, probably by the end of January, the FTC will attempt to have such groups as the National Association of Broadcasters and advertising associations ratify them. These are the minor consumer successes.

Right now, however, the cereal companies say they have no intention of reformulating their pre-sweetened cereal products because no one has yet proven to their satisfaction that sugar hurts. Gerber's of Fremont, the country's leading manufacturer of baby food has taken a more cautious tack. For the past two or three years it has ceased to add sugar to its carrots and creamed corn. It is also in the process of looking at all its products with the idea of cutting back on sugar. "We're doing it, not because we think sugar will cause dental caries or impair infants' future health," a spokesman said.

"There is no evidence to back that up. We are doing it because many people are convinced that sugar is bad for them." With hackles raised on both eldes, there are mutual accommodations occurring" among the combatants almost daily, even though there's no telling now who's really right. current situation is that a number of individuals both in research and ascon-sumer advocates have begun to raise questions about the amount of sugar consumed, in particular by children," said the AMA's Dr. While. "The question that is of interest to me in this regard is, these are calories that come along with no nutrients and they put a burden on the rest of the diet to provide nutrients in the calories remaining." 3 ffl9 lb.
