What African-Americans can
do to aid the environment
By RON SEIGEL
Corre.pondMt
DETROIT - Betty Hollens of the
Black Summit on the Environment
suggests some things that minoritie
can do to protect the environment:
- Write to newspapers, letting
them know "that people of color are
concerned."
- Read and inform yourself
about "what is in your own back
yard," including such issues as lead
paint poisoning their homes, which
are a danger for everyone, particular­
ly young children that are develop­
ing.
- Get speakers on the environ­
ment to talk at your school or job,
Hollens says that the health and
safety committee of your union can
talk about hazards at work. Another
helpful source can be the Southeast
Michigan Coalition on Health and
Safety (SEMCOSH), which can be
reached at (313) 961-3345.
You can call Hollers herself to
get a speaker from her own organiza­
tion, People of Color Committee on
the Environment at (313) 842-6262.
- Try to recycle your
newspapers.
- Expand your idea of environ­
mentalism to human issues.
"Not having a job is an environ­
mental hazard," she said. "Civil
rights and human rights are part of
the environment."

Dr. Thomas A. Gossel. in his article on high-fiber diet
products. (U.S. Pharmicist July 1987) says that obesity is
the most common form of malnutrition In the U.S. and most
lnoustrlehzed countries. Obesity results from changing
eating habits. lifestyles and physical activity.
The Amerioan diet has been consistent in total calories
and protein intake. However, the amount of starchy,
fibrous rood Americans eat has been decreased and there
has been an Increase in the intake of refined carbohydrates
and total tat.content,
The American diet contains 10-25 grams of dietary fiber
per day. The Ideal desireable intake is 25-50 grams per
day.
The ideal weight-loss program encourages decreased Intake of calories plus Increased
exercise.
Decreased calorie Intake results In less bulk In the gastrointestinal tract, so one gets hungry
between meals. Therefore, the use of fiber supplements to add bulk Is advisable. .
Fiber is materi I that cannot be broken dOwn by the chemicals in the stomach. Some
fibers, like wheat bran. are not water soluble so they can be used to treat constipation.
Water-soluble preparations such as proteins, oak bran and various gums are also used in
weight-loss diets. They add bulk to the gastrointestinal tract, give a sense of fullness, and
prevent the absorption of numents,
A fiber diet Increases stool weight and reduces constipation. It protects against
development of colon diseases such as appendlclts, diverticulitis and oolorectal cancer.
Dietary fiber Is also reported to protect against hyperlipidemia atherosclerosis, Ischemic
heart disease, and diabetes. Non-prescription weight-loss products may assist In reducing
an Individual's appetite. Fiber diet supplements will only help to reduce obesity if the Individual
reduces total food Intake below the calorie energy requirement.
This means that people must work hard or exercise vigorously to bum up the exce
calories over and above that needed for work on exercise.
Eat small portions of food and chew thoroughly. Obese persons have been observed to
eat at a faster rate. Thorough chewing results In less food being eaten. Europeans seem
to be thinner than Americans for several reasons. They walk more, they stt down to eat and
they eat unpolished foods and foods without extras like sauces, breading, salt or sugar.
