BEREDITARY OBESITY Many physicians do not like to believe that obesity (great over- weight) runs in some families. although the mures from all auth- oritative sources definitely show that where one or both parents are overweight some, if not all, of the ohildren are overweight or be- come overweight as they become adults. These physicians point out that the habits of the parents are handed down to the children in- so far as food and eating are con- cerned and these habits (eating rich foods) cause obesity. Because the digestive system of the mouse closely resembles that of a human being. experiments on mice with the usual foods eaten by human beings give valuable in- tformatioii for research workers in diets and foods. An editorial in The Journal of. the American Medical Association! reports the experiments of Drs. AL M. Ingrills, Al. M. Dickie and G. D.r Snell. The production of 9. heredit- arily obese strain of mice has rec- ently bceii reported by Dr. Ingalls and associates. "iVhereas the weights of young adult normal mice are in the range of 16 to 26 gm., the young adult obese mice weight as to 56 gm." A study of the nutritional and metabolic (building up and tearing down of the body cells) abnormalities of -these animals is currently reported by Drs, J. Mayor. M. M. Dickie. M. W. Bates and J. J. Vitale. of Bar- vard University and Jackson Mem- orial Laboratory, Bar Harbor. Maine. Ten obese and seven non-obese mice were placed in individual cages and given a free choice of three diets; each diet. consisted of a mixture of fat. starch and pro- tein. eni'ioht-d with minerals and vitamins. In one diet 00 per cent of the total calorie content was in the form of protein. The second diet contained 90 per cent car- bohydrates (starch) and the third. 90 per cent fats. These research workers first found that obese mice rate on an average five calories more per day than the non-obese mice (controisl. sufficient to give. a 16 gm. increase in body weight by the end of .'-X) days. Research workers in humans report that obese men and women also eat more food on an average than do those of normal weight, The next point. noted was that the obesn mice also selected pro- portionally more fat and less pro- tein and carbohydrate. This also is in line with the food habits of obese men and women who eat more fats and less protein than do those of normal weight. Obese humans. however, eat more starch foods also. The l(S:0ll is that the over- weights should eat more proteins (meat. eggs, fish) and less fats and starches in order to reduce weight. vxxrvxx . Ono; i?Housel-told Scrapbook?
