Information
on
food
additives
Canadian
regulation
on
food
additives
have
been
generally
tighter
than
those
in
the
US
In
the
case
of
cyclamate
sweeteners
the
Canadian
goverment
had
restricted
the
product
to
dietetic
appli
application
¬
cation
while
the
US
government
allowed
wider
use
This
tight
control
even
before
th
ban
kept
Cana
dian
consumption
of
cyclamate
sweeteners
well
within
the
level
that
conservative
world
food
and
health
experts
consider
safe
Nevertheless
the
Canadian
ban
took
effect
on
No
November
¬
vember
30
for
dietetic
soft
drinks
and
mixes
Dietetic
jams
jellies
desserts
and
ice
cream
will
come
under
the
ban
April
1
and
pediatric
drugs
June
1
and
September
1
for
dietetic
canned
fruits
The
Director
general
of
the
Food
and
Drug
Direc
Directorate
¬
torate
Dr
Ross
A
Chapman
has
been
reported
as
saying
that
saccharin
th
sugar
substitute
likely
to
take
over
from
cyclamates
will
be
given
top
priority
tests
for
possible
adverse
effects
in
human
consumption
In
use
since
1890
saccharin
has
not
undergone
the
kind
of
rigorous
testing
given
cyclamates
and
some
other
food
additives
It
will
be
tested
in
a
long
term
program
of
two
years
or
mor
beginning
with
toxicity
tests
on
rats
Problem
for
processor
While
the
Canadian
Food
and
Drug
authorities
made
it
clear
they
had
no
evidence
of
danger
to
humans
from
the
continued
use
of
cyclamate
sweeteners
it
was
difficult
for
them
to
do
other
than
follow
the
ban
placd
on
cyclamate
in
the
United
States
especially
as
it
re
received
¬
ceived
such
wide
publicity
including
advertising
by
soft
drink
companies
discontinuing
its
use
However
it
created
a
serious
problem
for
the
Cana
Canadian
¬
dian
fruit
processing
industry
which
is
reported
to
have
something
over
1
million
cases
of
dietetic
products
on
hand
from
1969
crops
Cause
for
public
concern
is
that
retailers
may
cut
back
on
thir
shelf
stocks
before
the
ban
is
effective
resulting
almost
certainly
in
a
request
by
the
industry
for
public
reimbursement
To
date
the
public
has
reacted
in
a
very
mixed
way
some
dieters
and
diebetics
are
buying
up
large
quantities
a
few
have
returned
products
for
refund
Hasty
removal
feared
What
concerns
many
in
the
food
industry
is
whether
or
not
similar
hasty
US
action
will
be
taken
against
other
additives
Some
were
startled
when
two
manufac
manufacturers
¬
turers
decided
to
discontinue
monosodium
glutamate
in
baby
foods
following
an
attack
by
US
consumer
cru
crusader
¬
sader
Ralph
Nader
Mono
sodium
glutamate
or
MSG
is
mad
from
L
Glutamic
acid
a
natural
food
protein
constituent
especially
of
grain
proteins
from
which
it
may
be
synthe
synthesized
¬
sized
It
is
a
flavor
enhancer
sold
to
the
public
uder
such
trade
names
as
Accent
and
included
in
small
quantities
in
many
processed
foods
All
normal
research
including
that
by
the
Food
and
Drug
administration
here
shows
it
to
be
harmless
in
the
quantities
used
Hre
apain
doubt
was
sparked
by
a
Dr
John
Olney
in
the
US
who
injected
10
day
old
baby
mice
with
massive
doses
of
it
They
developed
brain
tumors
but
other
scientists
have
said
similar
massive
doses
of
say
salt
would
likely
also
result
in
damage
or
death
to
baby
mice
Long
term
evidence
needed
In
Japan
average
annual
per
capita
consumption
of
MSG
is
15
pounds
compared
with
l4pound
in
the
United
States
and
Canada
Dr
Ross
Chapman
director
general
of
the
Department
Healths
Food
and
Drug
di
directorate
¬
rectorate
told
the
Canadian
Press
that
the
directorate
has
been
testing
MSG
for
some
time
both
on
humans
and
young
rats
and
has
found
no
evidence
of
adverse
effects
when
consumed
in
normal
amounts
Large
doses
have
produced
some
side
effects
in
humans
One
of
the
difficult
problems
faced
by
the
Food
and
Drug
officials
and
their
medical
advisors
is
to
assess
whatever
evidence
they
obtain
in
terms
of
life
time
usage
and
also
in
terms
of
pass
along
to
unborn
children
The
massive
dose
tests
are
now
under
so
much
question
that
it
seems
likely
that
the
main
guideline
for
the
future
will
be
rational
moderation
in
both
usage
and
scientific
testing

What

Smoking
controversy
aired
Dear
Ann
Landers
Like
mil
lions
of
other
decent
socially
acceptable
people
I
smoke
Since
I
am
a
heavy
smoker
lam
vastly
uncomfortable
if
I
must
go
for
over
an
hour
w
lthout
a
cigarette
Your
notion
that
people
who
do
not
want
smoking
In
their
homes
should
not
put
out
ash
trays
Is
absurd
My
wife
does
not
smoke
but
she
has
a
kidney
prob
problem
¬
lem
We
would
no
more
go
to
a
home
where
smoking
Is
not
allowed
than
we
would
accept
an
invitation
from
a
hostess
who
locks
the
bath
room
so
guests
cant
use
It
In
my
opinion
the
principle
Is
the
same
Please
comment
MR
Dear
SMR
Your
analogy
Is
picturesque
but
the
principle
is
not
the
same
A
guest
who
uses
the
lavatory
In
no
way
In
Interferes
¬
terferes
with
the
comfort
or
the
health
of
others
Ive
never
heard
of
a
hostess
who
locked
her
bathroom
so
guests
couldnt
use
it
Have
you
It
seems
to
me
that
If
such
a
hostess
exists
she
would
stand
to
lose
a
lot
more
than
lfshesetout
no
ash
trays

Dear
Ann

On
a
flight
from
Cincinnati
to

Fran
Francisco
¬

I
was
seated
next
to
a
mid
middle
¬
dle
aged
woman
When
the
No
Smoking
sign
was
turned
off
I
asked
my
seat
mate
if
she
would
mind
If
I
smoked
Her
reply
was
I
would
prefer
that
you
didnt
Her
answer
Irritated
me
since
I
am
a
heavy
smoker
and
felt
she
was
Interfering
with
my
rights
I
pointed
out
that
the
airlines
expect
people
to
smoke
which
Is
why
they
have
signs
regulating
smoking
during
takeoff
and
land
landing
¬
ing
She
gave
me
a
dirty
look
and
snapped
Well
you
asked
me
and
I
told
youl
I
replied
If
my
smoking
bothers
you
I
sug
suggest
¬
gest
that
you
find
another
seat
She
did
I
was
pteased
with

I
dealt

Dear

for

It

The
drinks
are
easy
to

they

with

Instant

and
are
variations
of
what
the

In

think
of
as

Remember

that
the

Chocolate
shoulder
has
a

and
aromatic
touch
of
cinnamon
because
a
stick
of
cinnamon
stands
up
in

mugful
you
serve
The

stirs
and
stirs
then
throws
the
stick
over
his
or
her
left
shoulder
and
makes
a

Get
the
point
Chocolate
Shoulder
The
other
point
is
to
ask
them
to
throw
gently
into
a
handy
container
notontothe

The
second
drink
is
called
The
Peeker
and
Is
a
lovely
chocolatey
concoction
with
a
plump
marshmallow
melting
on
top
Or
If
you
prefer
use
a
crushed

If
you
have
stein
tvne
mugs
serve
with

lid
down
and
the
guest
has
to
peek
to
see
what
Is
inside
If
you
havent
mugs
with
covers
this
could
be
called
Chocolate
Scoop
because
someone
is

to
want
to
scoop
out

eat
the

floating

The
drink
in

is

today
and
the
fresh

This

of

Is
both
Innocent
and

For

It
would
be

to
place
the

on

like

You

Many
romen
would
balk
at
the
thought
of
running
three
households
two
of
them
al
almost
¬
most
1000
miles

For
Mrs
Don
Jamleson
49
wife
of
the
federal
transport
minister
It
has
been
a
way
of
life
since
her

to

Commons
for
the
Newfoundland

thats
Just

Some
state
penalties
are
even
higher

In

the

Now
you
keep
trying
to
make
allowances
You
keep
saying
to
yourself
It
was
worse
last
year
and
will
be
tetter
next
year
You
keep
listening
hopefully
with
a
sympathetic
ear
topromlses
and
boasts
And
through
it
all
shines
one
fact
The
supply
of
consumer
goods
in
the
So
Soviet
¬
viet
Union
is
awful
First
ballpoints
This
year
ballpoint
pens
have
come
on
to
the
market
in
a
big
way
So
have
plastic
palls
and
zigzag
sewing
ma
machines
¬
chines
But
there
are
no
brooms
It
Is
difficult
to
find
a
teapot
an
iron
a
television
stabilizer
This
is
the
way
it
goes
A

manager
has
no

He
takebwhatlssent
As
the
USSR
Academy
of
Social
Sciences
pointed
out
brusquely
a
few
weeks
ago
The
lack
of
necessary
goods
In
the
stores
has
an
anti
stimulus
effect
on
labor
ac
activities
¬
tivities
That
is
people
get
annojed
and
dont
work
so
well
Another
Intrlguingaspectof
Soviet
shopping
Is
that
often
the
shops
are
full
of
goods
but
theres
nothing
that
peo
people
¬
ple
want
Which
brings
us
to
the
mys
mysteries
¬
teries
of
supply
and
demand
Classically
a
demand
is
supposed
to
generate
a
supply
both
In
a
free
market
and
socialist
economy
Of
course
it
doesnt
always
work
that
way
or
It
works
imperfect
imperfectly
¬
ly
And
In
some
notorious
instances
in
the
ad
oriented
mass
consumption
society
of
the
West
the
supply
has
gen
generate
¬
erate
the
demand
But
at
least
you
know
where
you
are
Here
however
supply
and
demand
often
work
In
paral
parallel
¬
lel
which
makes
everyone
nervous
Theres
lots
of
sup
supply
¬
ply
and
lots
of
demand
The
problem
Is
to
marry
them
For
years
Soviet
economists
have
been
saying
that
the
line
lineups
¬
ups
outside
stores
were
due
to
shortages
and
that
these
shortages
would
soon
disappear
But
then
they
have
discovered
that
the
ware
warehouses
¬
houses
of
the
nation
are
over
overflowing
¬
flowing
with
rubles
five
billion
of
them
And
still
peo
people
¬
ple
cant
buy
what
they
want
What
do
they
want
It
turns
out
that
no
one
knows
that
either
Market
research
has
to
be
re
Invented
Watches
everywhere
Take
Soviet
watches
which
are
good
and
cheap
For
years
no
one
had
watches
because
there
werent
any
Finally
the
demand
was
recognized
and
the
factories
geared
up
for
watch
produc
production
¬
tion
Now
everyone
has
a
watch
The
stores
are
full
of
watches
And
still
the
fac
factories
¬
tories
produce
watches
No
one
has
told
them
to
stop
Recently
the
chief
design
designer
¬
er
of
an
industrial
enter
enterprise
¬
prise
far
from
Moscow
jour
neyed
to
the
capital
and
marched
on
the
director
of
the
All
Union
Research
Scien
Scientific
¬
tific
Institute
for
Studying
the
Demand
of
the
Population
for
Consumer
Goods
Tell
me
said
the
chief
designer
what
are
we
to
produce
In
the
next
few
years
Several
years
before
It
turned
out
the
central
plan
planners
¬
ners
had
told
them
to
pro
produce
¬
duce
radio
sets
and
record
players
it
took
them
almost
two
years
to
tool
up
and
when
they
started
production
It
turned
out
there
was
no
de
demand
¬
mand
for
their
product
The
designer
now
demanded
to
know
what
people
would
want
No
one
could
tell
him
be
because
¬
cause
no
one
knew
As
a
long
and
sarcastic
ar
article
¬
ticle
In
the
local
press
com
commented
¬
mented
recently
If
there
Is
a
sea
of
goods
In
our
coun
country
¬
try
then
It
is
a
sea
with
high
and
low
tides
If
they
produce
too
much
they
say
demand
has
dropped
If
they
dont
produce
enough
theysay
theres
unexpected
demand
The
article
with
typically
Marxist
optimism
said
that
that
the
growth
of
purchas
purchasers
¬
ers
demands
develops
ac
according
¬
cording
to
certain
laws
which
are
almost
as
strict
as
the
laws
of
mathematics
They
should
be
studied
and
calculat
calculated
¬
ed
No
communication
But
they
are
being
studied
The
trouble
Is
as
local
cri
critics
¬
tics
have
discovered
that
one
group
studies
demand
but
quite
another
sends
orders
to
Industry
And
If
thatwasnt
enough
a
third
group
does
the
planning
And
none
of
these
groups
has
overall
responsi
responsibility
¬
bility
The
town
of
Penza
Is
try
trying
¬
ing
one
way
of
overcoming
these
shortcomings
They
have
set
up
a
Home
and
Fam
Family
¬
ily
Shop
where
each
plant
and
factory
In
the
town
has
a
coun
counter
¬
ter
At
each
counter
there
Is
a
telephone
onwhlchlsstamp
ed
the
name
and
number
of
the
plant
director
This
Is
one
way
to
make
demand
felt
According
to
the
planning
report
given
to
the
Supreme
Soviet
in
December
the
con
consumer
¬
sumer
goods
industry
Is
sup
supposed

posed
to
grow
more
In
1970
than
heavy
industry
The
fig
figures
¬
ures
were
68
per
cent
and
61
per
cent
A
small
dif
difference
¬
ference
but
one
that
has
meant
a
whole
new
orientation
in
the

economy
