Can Some Americans Get Any Dumber?

by Dr. PaulWalker,

Professorof Animal

Science,and

MatthewFaulkner,

Under-graduateStudent,

IllinoisState

University

This article will address this question from a human nutri-tion perspective, only. From an historical point, the fact thatAmericans have embraced advances in science and technolo-gy, particularly as new discoveries have increased our produc-tion of food and fiber, is what has made America the greatcountry it is. However, there seems to be a move away fromthe use of sound science and its knowledge base by more andmore Americans towards food consumption based on popularperception. The following are some examples of dumbness atits worst.

The legalization, sale and purchase of unpasteurized milkfor human consumption: I don’t know who is dumber, thepoliticians for legalizing the sale of unpasteurized milk, thedairy farmer for selling unpasteurized milk for direct humanconsumption, or the consumer for purchasing unpasteurizedmilk for human consumption. We have known for over 100years that to prevent illness that occurs from drinking unpas-teurized milk, it should be heat treated (pasteurized), and pas-teurization of milk has been a U.S. standard for nearly a cen-tury. While the dairy farms of today are more sanitary thanthey were 50 years ago, unpasteurized milk can still containharmful bacteria such as E coli and salmonella. Most states inthe U.S. are brucellosis free, though individual cows for onereason or another can still get this disease. Drinking unpas-teurized milk from a cow with brucellosis can transfer this dis-ease to humans in the form of undulant fever that can be fatal.Pasteurization destroys the bacteria that cause brucellosis(undulant fever). Therefore, why assume the risk?

If a consumer gets sick after drinking unpasteurized milkpurchased from a local farmer, who is liable? In a court of lawit very well could be the farmer. Few farmers can financiallyafford a civil lawsuit regarding the direct sale of unpasteurizedmilk to a customer who gets sick and blames the milk. Doesthe phase “ground beef recall” ring a bell?

Those consumers who advocate consumption of unpas-teurized milk claim improved taste and nutritional health.Taste is an acquired trait. If taste is perceived, then so it is.Some people like the taste of beets – some folks don’t.Advocates claim the pasteurization process destroys the vita-min and enzyme content in milk – a belief not supported byscience. If the decrease in nutritional value for pasteurizedmilk was substantial then the same analogy should hold foreggs, and these folks should eat raw eggs. Eating uncookedeggs has several downsides, including avidin contained in rawegg white that renders the B vitamin Biotin unavailable.Cooking inactivates avidin making eggs more nutritious.

People who advocate the drinking of unpasteurized milk,also should drink the green bean juice produced when boilinggreen beans. These people should just eat all their vegetablesuncooked. After all, a considerable amount of the vitaminsand minerals in any vegetable (such as green beans) are watersoluble and when boiling vegetables (green beans) to enhancetheir flavor some of the vitamin/mineral content is transferredto the water-that results in a reduction of nutritional value ofthe vegetables. Back to the main point, drinking unpasteur-ized milk is simply not worth the health risk. The negativeeffects of drinking unpasteurized milk out-weigh theimprovement in taste and perceived (negligible) increase innutritional value.

America is going to spend millions, maybe billions of dol-lars fighting obesity and blaming bad foods as the problem:

Obesity for all people (except a few persons with a metabolicdisorder) is simply an imbalance of calories in/calories out. Itis that simple. If a person eats more calories in 24 hours thanthat person expends, then the excess calories will be stored asfat. Once a fat cell is developed it is never lost. A fat cell canshrink in size but it does not go away. That is why many peo-ple find it so difficult to maintain weight loss over time. Oncefat cells are developed they are easily filled when the calorieintake/energy expenditure ratio goes back up.

There simply is no such thing as good food vs. bad food.All foods eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet aregood foods. It is not the fast food industry’s fault Americansare getting fat. Americans are getting fat because they eat toomuch relative to how much they exercise. A small bag (1 oz.serving) of potato chips and a 12 oz. soft drink as part of onesdaily diet is not harmful. Consuming a 10 oz. bag of chips anda liter bottle (2 ¾ - 12 oz. cans) in one sitting for most peopleare far too many calories of intake relative to the caloriesexpended. The good food/bad food concept is relative toamount consumed. Some research reports suggest a “small”glass of red wine each day decreases the chances for heartattack. Of course, too much red wine intake can result in alco-holism. A few research studies have suggested a “little” choco-late consumption can decrease the incidence for some kinds ofcancer. Again, too much chocolate intake and here comes theobesity issue. Good foods/bad foods, all foods in appropriatemoderation as part of a balanced diet are good foods.

A recent report I read found that people consume morecalories when they eat out than when they eat at home. Maybewe should pass a law limiting how many times per week a per-son can eat out. Maybe not!

It is not the advertising industry’s fault Americans are get-ting fat: I don’t care where on the shelf the grocer places thefrosted (sugar coated) shredded wheat – I’m not going to buyplain shredded wheat. And, I don’t care what the TV adds say,I’m just glad Leslie (my 12-year-old daughter) is having pas-teurized whole milk with the frosted wheats every morning.Her energy expenditure is equal to her energy intake. Maybe,physical education classes in the primary/secondary schoolsshould include some real exercise instead of films on political-ly correct, unfunded mandates that the legislatures force uponour schools.

Local food is more nutritious and more wholesome: Thanwhat? And, what scientific study says it is? Does local foodtaste fresher? It can – remember, taste is acquired or perceived.I kind of like buying strawberries in January at Wal-Mart andKroger. I bet they’re not local. Of course, I consider food pro-duced on this planet as local. That is why I have such a largevariety from which to choose. Nothing guarantees that localfood (in this case food produced within 10 miles of the farm-ers market where it was sold) is more wholesome or sanitary,than the food I buy at Wal-Mart or Kroger. My guess is thatmost vegetables in a can are more sanitary than any non-canned vegetable. The canned vegetables have been cooked atleast once. Of course, there is that issue of taste – its acquiredyou know. That is what makes America so great – we havegreat freedom of choice – to buy local (food grown in myneighbor’s garden) or to buy local (foods produced on thisplanet). We just shouldn’t confuse scientific fact and percep-tion as one and the same.
