SCIENCE IN St

u
New Approadi To Hunger
Although giant strides have been
made toward wiping out infectious
disease in the tropics, another huge
health problem still plagues under
developed areas of the world: mal
nutrition. In these areas, two out of
three people still subsist on near
starvation diets.
The greatest lack in tropical diets
is protein, such as meat, milk and
fish. In some areas it is simply un
available ; in others, it is too expen
sive for most of the people who need
H it. This shortage
affects the health
of everyone, but is
— particularly dam
WT~ aging to growing
A* \ children.
' i\ In the search
\]L for some relative
'll ly inexpensive
13/'— diet supplement
' ■= which would help
to counteract this protein deficiency,
one group of scientists has hit upon
a logical answer: the antibiotic Ter
ramycin.
Terramycin is principally known,
of course, for its ability to cure more
than 100 infectious diseases. But
fanners have known for years that
the addition of very small amounts
of this antibiotic to the diet of farm
animals increases their rate of
growth. Why not try to pass some
of the benefit along to human chil
dren as well ?
An experiment with a group of
64 poorly nourished school children
in tropical Haiti revealed that sup
plementing the children’s diet with
small amounts of Terramycin, or
the essential amino acid (a build
ing-block of protein) called lysine,
greatly improved their growth rate.
Of the two, Terramycin showed the
best growth-promoting effect, which
persisted a number of months after
the antibiotic supplement was dis
continued.
In addition, Dr. Elmer H. Lough
lin noted, the Terramycin supple
ment produced no undesirable
effects of any kind, either in the
first group of children, or in an
additional group of 243 who have
been receiving the supplement since
October 1956.
