JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe diet therapy for the toxemia of pregnancy in the third trimester seems to be of considerable importance, although attention has been paid mainly to the use of diuretics for the improvement of symptoms. A study was undertaken to observe the clinical significance of diet therapy of 65 outpatients. Dietitians interviewed these patients at the clinic giving individual instructions on the diet. The daily intake of nutrients of these patients was calculated as follows; at first, menus for three days were prepared by the patients themselves according to the recomendation from the obstetricians and the dietitians. Then, the percentage intakes of individual foods were calculated. Based on the daily intake the appropriate amounts of foods which each patient should take was determined. Clinical effects of the diet therapy were evaluated on the basis of a pregnogram which was designed to indicate body weight, blood pressure, circumferential length of abdomen, proteinuria, etc. In selected cases, blood levels of both cholesterol and triglyceride were determined. It was found that toxemia during late pregnancy was strikingly improved by individual instruction on the diet by the dietitian (82.4% improvement). Serum triglyceride levels in toxemia patients were higher than those in normal pregnants, however, no difference in the cholesterol level was found in both groups. Toxemia patients appeared to have a tendency to consume foods containing cholesterol and sugar.View full abstractDownload PDF (8747K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effect of dietary cholesterol on the serum cholesterol level was examined with the adult and aged subject.
In the first trial, a total of 35 healthy adults were divided into three groups given 5, 7 and 10 eggs daily for 10-15 days.
The differences of mean value in serum cholesterol between the initial day and the final day were 7, 9 and 8mg/dl in each group of adults given 5, 7 and 10 eggs, respectively, indicating a tendency of slight elevation in serum cholesterol. However, it should be noted that there were some adult subjects who showed sensitive response to the serum cholesterol level by egg intake.
In the next, nineteen healthy aged subjects were divided into two groups given 1 and 2 eggs every day for one month. Average increments of serum cholesterol in each group of aged persons were 3mg/dl for 1 egg and 12mg/dl for 2 eggs. The higher response seen in the aged persons given 2 eggs daily may be caused by their inactive life in comparison with the active adults.
Anyway, the effect of egg cholesterol to the serum cholesterol level in human seems to be lower than that resulted from the dietary intake of saturated fatty acid such as butter, tallow and lard etc.View full abstractDownload PDF (8505K) -
A Tentative Plan for the Food Exchange SystemChiyoko Yamanaka1975 Volume 33 Issue 3 Pages 113-122

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is well known that diabetes is listed as one of the most serious provoking causes of some blood vessel troubles such as macroangiopathy and microangiopathies. Recently, deaths due to these cardiovascular diseases mentioned above are increasing.
The author noted the relation between abnormal metabolism, especially fat metabolism, and foods taken by the diabetic, and intended to prepare food exchange systems for diabetics accompanied with atherosclerosis.
From February to May in 1974, thirty cases of diabetes were reported in Kochi Medical Examination Clinic, of which sixteen were accompanied with cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, hypertension and renal diseases. Among these cases, those complicated with atherosclerosis belong to IIa and IIb ranks in the K. W. Classification, meaning that they require dietary control.
The tentative food exchange systems were therefore, concretely prepared with special reference to lipids and carbohydrates based on “the food exchange systems for the diabetic” arranged by the Nippon Tônyôbyô Gakkai.
Moreover, local foods used seasonally in Kôchi Prefecture were investigated in regard to their nutrients and then added to the food exchange systems.
These food exchange systems have not yet been put into practical use. More detailed clinical research are, therefore, required for a future study.View full abstractDownload PDF (8238K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFor the purpose of finding a guiding principle for better nourishment and improving the menu we made an investigation into the relations between the patients' leavings and likes and dislikes of the meals taken at Uji Ohbaku Hospital. We picked out 532 psychiatric patients and 107 patients from the internal medicine ward 639 in totaling as the subjects from the 8th of September till the 5th of October in 1973. We checked the weight of their lunch and supper before and after meals of each patient. The ratio of the weight of the meal to that of the leavings was called the residue rate.
We also made an investigation written into their likes and dislikes during almost the same period. It was then divided into five classes according to the degree, which was represented by numeral points. Thus, we could find out the interrelations between the residue rate and the points of likes and dislikes of the subjects.
The results are as follows:
1) The residue rate was very high.
2) It greatly fluctuated according to each day.
3) The fluctuation of the residue rate itself and variation in each day were very different among the wards to which the subjects belong.
4) Some kinds of likes and dislikes were common to the wards; others were not.
5) In the case of female patients there was a relation between likes and dislikes and the residue rate, whereas there was little relation in that of male patients.
In conclusion, we think that the difference of patients' likes and dislikes among wards is necessary to take into consideration in order to decrease the residue of mealsView full abstractDownload PDF (8232K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn order to investigate the food image regarded as the important factor in food intake behaviour, the image of 12 kinds of food of 933 junior college students was analysed by the S. D. method in 7 districts (Yonezawa, Tokyo, Nagoya, Nara, Himeji, Takamatsu and Kagoshima) and district groups were compared.
The findings were as follows:
1) Hen's egg was rated as “to be suitable to all tastes” and variation of its image according to the district groups was little.
2) The food images in Yonezawa showed a special character as compared with the other 6 districts. The images of macaroni and whale meat had tendency to be “domestic”, and that of soybean curd and milk were “to be suitable to all taste”. These were stronger than the other districts. It was recognized that the differences of these images were significant. And also images of jack mackerel and merluza were different from those of the other 6 groups.
3) Images of beef, pork, chicken and whale meat varied remarkably with district groups and were apt to be rated as “to be suitable to all taste”. Image of chicken was “to taste of the peculiar group” in Himeji and Nara, and that of whale meat “to be suitable to all taste” in Himeji and Takamatsu. The image of pork in Tokyo and Yonezawa, and that of beef in Takamatsu, Himeji and Nara were rated as “to be suitable to all taste”. The sequential relative coefficient between pork and beef was -0.8.View full abstractDownload PDF (8783K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSnacks are often given to growing children as auxiliary nutrition supplements. However, considering the abundance of confections appearing currently on the market, an increase in the occurrence of decayed teeth and in obesity due to excess sugar intake on the one hand, and an increase in the frequency of the use of artificial colors in confections on the other hand seem to be raising many problems which cannot be disregarded.
Therefore, an analysis was made of the sugar content and artificial colors contained in ice candies and soft drinks which are frequently taken by children during the summer season; the vitamin C content in soft drinks and fruit juice was meaured as well in order to determine the actual condition.
An investigation was carried out on samples obtained from 104 types of ice candies and soft drinks which are being sold in Kumamoto city.
The sugar content comprised about 20g in ice candies and about 30g in soft drinks (250ml packed in a can) on the average. This suggests that these children ingest more than 50g/day of sugar. As for artificial colors, the decreasing order of intake frequency was: orange system 44% followed by red system 35%, and blue system 20%. Mixed colors used to produce a characteristic color occupied 75%, while mono-color was only 25%. Harmful color was not detected in any case.
Vitamin C in 100ml of natural juice of citrus fruits comprised 36.4mg on the average. With others, the vitamin C content was approximately proportional to their fruit juice content. There was a strong tendency showing that non-fruit soft drinks composed mainly of colored sugar water were taken in a great quantity.View full abstractDownload PDF (5674K)
