Or. William Macdiarmid head of Medicine at the health sciences Centre says the idea still needs years of tests and follow up studies before it s Likely to become an approved weight loss method. Research needed if the method is adequately re searched medically it might become acceptable to the he said. The Pilot Case involved 297-Pound Susan Owen who under the guidance of her surgeon swallowed a balloon which was attached to a thin tube. Air and water were pumped through the tube into the balloon. The tube was plugged and taped to her Cheek. The woman found that she Felt full after eating Only a Small amount of food but she did drink lots of liquids to watch Maureen Brosnahan ensure the food did not sit on top of the balloon. It works on the theory that if your stomach feels full you won t eat any Macdiarmid said. He pointed out one of the potential dangers with the balloon plan could be choking on the tube. The Windsor doctor who pioneered the method Hopes to Market the idea and plans to continue testing it but Macdiarmid is still sceptical. The big question is does it achieve lasting control. Obesity is a 95-per-cent failure he said adding that most people regain much of the weight they lose on diets or in reducing pro Grams.

I believe your neighbor is jumping to an unwarranted conclusion based on insufficient knowl Edge. The fact is that no Plant is Invulnerable to Dis ease or contamination and peanuts Are no exception. One group of toxins or poisons that Are carcinogenic is aflatoxin and it is True that these often occur in grains and food products that have not been stored properly. It is also True that peanuts Are particularly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination but according to or. George a.

Bean Points the excellent storage facilities in the ., and that peanuts Are continually monitored and checked to determine whether they Are contaminated with aflatoxin. Those found to be contaminated while stored or when brought in for processing Are not used for food. In the developing countries of the world however where suitable storage facilities often Are lacking aflatoxin Are found with some frequency. The continuous ingestion of aflatoxin contaminated compounds appears to be associated with the develop ment of liver cancer but the experience in these other countries is not relevant to peanuts grown and processed in the United states. Dear or. Salomon i have been breast feeding my daughter since she was born eight months ago. Is there any reason i should not switch to cow s milk at this time Nancy dear Nancy cow s milk should not be included in an infant s diet before the first birthday. Although it is appropriate for older children cow s milk has a much higher level of protein than babies need and it May be too much for an infant s sys tem to handle. In addition the protein and fat in cow s milk Are More difficult for a baby to digest than those in human milk. Finally cow s milk contains More Salt than is recommended for Young infants and is a poor source of Vita mins c and a Copper and Iron. If possible continue breast feeding your Daugh Ter until after her first birth Day.
