DO YOU KNOW WHY THE SPINE IS SO IMPORTANT? BY DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C. Doctor of Chiropractic First of all, the spine par- ticipates in all major body movements, such as reaching, bending and stooping. In move- ment of the arms and legs, the spinal column is involved because the muscles, which aid in moving the limbs, attach to the spinal column. Second, the spine functions as a shock absorber for the body. This is due to its functional curves and the discs between each vertebrae. Third, the spine is the support for the body, arms and head. Thus, the posture of an in- dividual can be maintained if the spine is in good condition. Fourth, the spine protects the spinal cord and through openings between each vertebra the spinal nerves emit. These nerves branch and make a connection with every tissue in the body. When you consider the above facts, the im- portance of periodic chiropractic examinations becomes obvious as does the risk of loss of health and vitality by neglecting these examina- tions, also becomes obvious.

Other potentially dangerous chemicals are finding their way into the food supply. Agents used as pesticides, such as EDB and heptachlor, and growth promoters, such as daminozide (Alar), are ab- sorbed systemically and become part of the chemical makeup of food. Cooking does not destroy them. Hormones and animal drugs are similar- ly showing up as residue in meat, milk and eggs. Many of these agents are known carcinogens. These hazards have come to light only because of the efforts of consumer activists. As long as potentially harm- ful agents remain in the food supply, it is up to food pre- parers to make sure that food comes to the table in a whole- some state. Consumers have to be vigilant and aware, since contamination usually has no visible signs. Ask questions about how the food was processed and read labels. If a grocery store or processor refuses to use products exposed to suspect substances, they usually will say so. In addition, certain groups such as the Nutri- tional Effects Foundation are granting a voluntary seal to producers who keep their red meat antibiotic-free. Researchers also are work- ing on developing better, safer ways of bringing food to market. Radiation of food is being explored as a way of avoiding food additives and cutting back on the threat of microbiological contamina- tion. By sterilizing food through exposure to a strong source of radioactivity, pro- ponents say the food can be made nearly germ free, while its shelf-life is extended. Irradiated foods are already sold in France, the Nether- lands and other countries, although the safety of eating irradiated food has not been proven to the satisfaction of U.S. regulatory agencies and many consumers. Only spices are treated with radiation in commercial quantities in the United States. Irradiation as a means of killing nematodes that cause trichinosis in pork also has been approved since 1985. No meatpackers yet use the process. Food safety is a problem that cannot be ignored. At all levels, from the farm to the processing plant to the kitch- en table, food needs to be handled with care if it is to safely provide nutrition. Until better inspection techniques are in place, it's a good idea to watch what you eat. ❑
