arthritis,but the symptomsactually beganwhen shewas in her twenties.

I know what was wrong. After
receiving the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis Jean began to see a
specialist who suggested various
medicines, including steroids and
chemotherapydrugs. As a registered nurse, she was well aware of
the many potential side effects, and
refusedto take them. With so many
health problems. it isn't surprising
that she also suffered from bouts of
deep depression, but she now
wonders if they may have been
linked to the aspartamein the diet
colas sheused at that time.
Jean is very active in her church
and was helping to set up.a health
fair for parishionerswhen she saw a
small notice in tbe local Pennysaver
newspaper. It describedthe Feingold Program and gave the number
for the Alexandria, Virginia office.
Your editor was the one who

The body producesantibodiesthat
fight foreign proteins known as
antigens. In lupus, the antibodies
mistake the body's own cells as
foreign and atteck them. The disease
may range from mild to severe and
is characterized by periods of
flare-ups and remissions. Lupus
may cause weight loss, fever,
fatigue, aching, and weakness and
may involve different systems such
as the central nervous system, the
heart, lungs, kidneys, muscles,and
joints.

She received an "earful" of
information over the phone, plus
more in the rnail, and she quickly
put herself on the Feingold Program. In addition to Feingold Jean
made many healthy changesin her
diet, cut out sugruy foods, and
reducedher salt intake.

to Pure Facts readers that I started
asking her about the foods she was

Chinese food and lots of orange
juice (a salicylate).
What is Lupus?
As a school nurse she sees the
problems both the studentsand staff

plays a big part in them all. She
sharesher wonderful story with any

In June the British Medical
Association@MA) issued a report
calling for the banning of junk food
ads to children. They want cartoon
charactersand celebritiesto advertise
only nutritious foods. They also
want the Government to encourage
healthyeatingby subsidizingthe cost
of fruits and vegetables.
The BMA estimatesthat eachyear
their country's health service spends
at least 2 billion pounds treating the
health problems causedby a poor
diet.
l.ast year Britain issued a report
calling for the food industry to
voluntarily stop advertising foods
high in salt and sugarto children. If
this was not achievedby 2007, the
governmentwould seek legislation.
In October, twenty of Britain's food
writers and top chefs wrote !o Prime
Minister Blair, encouraging him to
join in the efforts to improve
children's diets by supporting the
Children'sFood Bill. This effort is
being spearheadedby MP (member
of Parliament) Mary Creagh, who
feels that the voluntary efforts
previously suggesteddon't go far
enough. The bill has received wide
support from representativesof both
political parties as well as ftom 150
national organizations.

There was a 90% increasein the

commented,"Raising blood pressure

"out of contol growth" in the use
of ADHD drugs.
Panel memberDr. Curt Furberg
of Wake Forest University Medical
School was also critical of the
increasein ADHD drug use, which
is now estimatedto be 2.5 million

noted, '1 am sure there are patients

Reality Check
With so many studies now showing how nufiition can effectively
help thesechildren, and the Feingold
Association's30 yearsof success,it
was shocking to read the opinion of
one doctor who is a professor of
neurologyand pediafiics:"If we had

How we research
restaurants
What we look for (as much as
possible) is a printed list of
ingredients supplied by the headquarters of a restaurantchain. Even
then, there are often some obvious
6 Pwe EactslMarch2U)6
mistakes and omissions, but it's
about as precise as we are able to
get.
Members are surprised when we
tell them how uncooperative most
restaurant chains are. Apparently,
concern over law suits is a problem
for some of them. In the past the
Olive Garden headquartershas told
Pure Facts they will only give
ingredient information to a doctor
who calls on behalfof a patient.
It can be a challengejust finding
someoneat a companywho is aware
of the ingredienc they use. They
are seldorn concerned about additives, or even aware of them. Most
of the questions they receive are
about fhings like allergy foods or
carbohydrates. This is why we
encouragenernbers to use the form
letter on our web site and write to
your favorite restaurants. However,
it may take numeroussuch letters to
make them awarethat some of their
customerswant bett€r ingredientsin
their foods.
There are many reasonsa
restaurantis missing from the
Fast Food Guide. It may be
because we don't have
enough information, or because they have so few
