HOW TO EAT RIGHT AND LIVE LONGER In recent years, we have become more concerned about the food we eat. We hear that certain chemicals in our food can cause cancer and other serious diseases. Dr. Mayer presents a less frightening picture of modern foods than we sometimes hear in the news and also gives us some good advice on how to stay healthy. Q. Dr. Mayer, we're constantly being told that a lot of things we eat are bad for us –will kill us or give us some disease. Has much of our food become dangerous to health? A.There are a lot of exaggerations and unnecessary fears about this. The great American supermarket is a wonderful place with a much greater variety of healthy food than has ever been available before. If you know something about nutrition and about shopping, you can go into a typical supermarket and come out with an excellent diet. You can also come out with a terrible diet if you don't know anything about nutrition.

Q. How do you explain the common feeling that more disease is caused today by the food we eat than in the past? A. I think we've learned more about the relations between food and health. Let me give you an example of what we do know. We know that being overweight is bad for people. The evidence is that being just a little overweight probably is not dangerous to health, unless some other disease is present, like diabetes or hypertension. But being very overweight is bad for health, not only because it makes any existing disease much worse, but also because being overweight makes it more likely that you will become diabetic or hypertensive.Q. Food additives are causing a lot of concern. Do you consider these dangerous? A. First of all, the word additive is a very general one describing anything that you add to food. You could argue that, in a sense, the most dangerous food additive is salt, and that sugar is also a dangerous food additive. Until the recent upset about the possible dangerous effects of the food coloring Red Dye Number 2, which only made food look good and made no contribution to health or safety, it seems to me that people were most excited about those very additives which are most useful and least dangerous.

Q. Such as? A. Such as preservatives, which basically stop molds. Some of the most common molds can cause cancer. For instance, aflatoxin is a strong and dangerous carcinogen produced by a common mold which grows on peanuts, corn, milk, bread—pretty much anywhere. We protect ourselves against it in part with preservatives.Q. You mentioned earlier that sugar and salt might be dangerous. What do you mean by that? A. Let's take sugar first. It is found everywhere in our diet. The average American man, woman, or child eats 125 pounds per year. Well, 125 pounds a year is a lot of "empty" calories, lacking in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Certainly, if you're going to control overweight, you should start by cutting down on sugar. Also, it is bad for your teeth. And there is some evidence that eating large amounts of sugar can cause diabetes and heart disease.Q. And salt? A. People react to salt differently, but eating a lot of salt can cause hypertension. Q. Dr. Mayer, why is it that Americans have a more serious problem with overweight than people in other countries?

A. The best evidence we have suggests that it's not because we eat so much food. Our big problem is exercise – the fact that in 1900 Henry Ford started producing automobiles and since World War II we have produced a large number of labor-saving devices both for industry and for the home. The physical activity of men and women has decreased since 1900. Q. Do you mean that exercise is really the key to overweight, rather than what we eat or how much we eat? A. For most people, inactivity is the most important cause of their slowly gaining weight over the years. In other words, most people who have a weight problem at age 45 nowadays would not have had a weight problem in 1630 when they would have walked everywhere, cut wood, worked in their fields, and so on. Q. If people tend to be overweight, how much exercise should they get? A. You have to be reasonable about this. People gain weight for 20 years and then they want to lose it in two months. You should look at exercise as a way of maintaining a good weight rather than as an emergency way of losing weight. Let me explain it this way: a pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories and 100 calories is used up by walking 20 minutes. So a 20 minute walk daily will take off 10 pounds of fat over a year. If you walk quickly, you will use about 300 calories an hour. If you play tennis vigorously you use perhaps 400 or 500. If you chopped wood for half an hour a day, you could take off 26 pounds of fat a year. That is pretty good. Obviously, if you want to lose weight very quickly, you should do two things at the same time: eat less and exercise more!
