Summary
| Description | The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council, which helped to prepare this film, was formed in 1940 for the purpose of improving the nutritional fitness of Americans in the crisis of World War II. The purpose of this film is to clarify some of the newer aspects of nutrition information for the physician, with emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of vitamin deficiency states. A panel of eminent nutritionists presents, in turn, information on the following: the diagnosis and physical signs of primary and conditioned malnutrition; suggested doses of vitamins and dietary supplements used in the treatment of beriberi, scurvy, and pellagra. The physician is urged to look for signs of chronic and acute malnutrition in all of his/her patients and to not only treat the condition, but to teach and encourage proper nutrition. Some of the personal and social implications of inadequate diet are discussed. A report is made of ante-partum nutrition studies done in Toronto. R |
