I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:  Questions on Childhood Conditions


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Any idea what the most popular subject included in questions addressed to
this column might be?  While there are many on the expected subjects of heart
disease and cancer, many, many on problems of the older years, neatly balanced
by hordes of questions on childhood conditions and child care, the subject of
weight loss and diet gets the nod for the most frequent subject.  Yes we have
included loads of information in our answers, and even a booklet or two on
nutrition, but I doubt that your ready for this one.  It is called" 50 Ways to
Leave Your BLUBBER" and I doubt that I have ever had more fun with a patient
education brochure, than from this one.  Not your usual pamphlet, but a chart
instead, colorfully illustrated and produced, that highlights 50 different
tips that can help you with your weight reduction program.  Here's a sample
"Tip 18:  When you begin to feel full, try this exercise.  Place your two
hands firmly on the edge of the table.  Then straighten your arms while moving
your torso away from the table.  Stand up and walk away."  See what I mean?
You will be on the road to getting your own copy by sending your request to
the creative people who designed this one, The National Dairy Council, Dept
MN, 6300 North River Road, Rosemont, Illinois 60018.  Please include
$1.00 for postage and handling.  You do NOT need to enclose an envelope for
this one.  When you get your copy, read tip Number 13.  It is my favorite.
