Also, the printer's type at Melbourne University Press was destroyed without authority, thus almost succeeding in preventing publication of the second edition the following year."

"At a recent meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Nutrition Foundation,- Inc., New York City, appropriated $185,600 for research in nutrition problems, bringing to a total of $1,810,000 the awards by the Foundation to 62 universities and medical centers in North America. Charles Glen King, Ph.D., who is the Scientific Director of the Foundation, summarized the advances through basic research made possible by the Foundation in relationship to public health, especially with reference to hypertension, the anemias, dental caries, and protein deficiencies."

Dental Health Developments

"In relation to dental caries, it is important to note that after several years of critically examining all the evidence from other sources and conducting extensive studies under their own authority, the British Ministry of Health this year issued a resounding endorsement of fluoridation (25, 26). The report strongly upholds the validity of the evidence and claims made in the United States and Canada regarding both the safety and the benefits that result from regulating the fluoride content of the general water supply at 1 p.p.m., when the natural content is appreciably below that value...Shaw and his associates at Harvard tested the claims often put forward that evaporated sea salts or special lake salts, by virtue of their supply of trace minerals, would inhibit dental caries. This is a favorite theme of the faddists. The results were emphatically negative (28)..."

"For sugar analyses, because of the rapid glycolysis which occurs, it is advisable to add fluoride routinely."

["Bacteria convert glucose, fructose, and sucrose into acids through a process called glycolysis, which is the main energy generating pathway in all bacteria, including caries-associated Streptococcus mutans."]

    "Education in nutrition is, of course, of paramount importance, and this phase of nutrition is considered in detail—what has been done and what program is contemplated in New York State, in teaching nutrition education to children, at Cornell University, by the New York State Emergency Food Commission, and, nationally, by the Nutrition Foundation and the War Food Administration."

ILSI-NF

Post by admin »

In 1985 the Nutrition Foundation joined forces with the International Life Sciences Institute, to become ILSI-NF.

SEE Source Watch:
https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/I ... _Institute

https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ILSI-NF

In late January 2006 the World Health Organization decided that ILSI can no longer take part in WHO activities setting microbiological or chemical standards for food and water, the U.N. health agency's executive board decided Friday in Geneva, Switzerland. [50] However, it remains one of the NGOs with accreditation as an observer at WHO meetings.

The downgrading of ILSI's status followed a letter protesting ILSI's role in setting standards from the Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Working Group, United Steelworkers of America and a coalition of other groups.
