Method: Three narrative overviews: of dietetics from its beginnings until after the end of the mediaeval and then Renaissance periods in Europe; of nutrition science in its first phase from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century until the middle of the twentieth century, with reasons for its rise; and of nutrition science in its second phase in the second half of the twentieth century, with reasons for its decline.

  • BMA Nutritioncommuittee 1947-1950
    Medical History, 2003, 47: 473-492 Professional Ambitions, Political Inclinations, and Protein Problems: Conflict and Compromise in the BMA Nutrition Commuittee 1947-1950 MARK W BUFTON, DAVID F SMITH and VIRGINIA BERRIDGE* Introduction When the British Medical Association (BMA) set up a committee on nutrition in 1947, this was not the first time they had entered this field. In 1933, at a time ofconcern about the adequacy of the diets of the poor and unemployed, the Association had appointed a com- mittee to enquire into the minimum cost of an adequate diet. This had been the subject of a report produced by the weekly magazine Week-End Review,I which was part of a wider debate about whether sections of the population were underfed and suffering from mal- nutrition. At this time, there were growing demands for greater government intervention in the food system to ensure everyone obtained an adequate diet.2 According to Peter Bartrip, the BMA began to take an interest in this field because medical practitioners wanted to forestall being excluded from a burgeoning area of knowledge by the agricultural and educational lobbies.3 David Smith has examined the earlier BMA Nutrition Committee and its conflict with the Ministry of Health's Advisory Committee on Nutrition during 1933-4 over protein and energy standards. He showed that the standards published in 1934 after negotiations between representatives of the two sides may be seen as a compromise between competing experts who were agreed that failure to reach consensus would lead to renewed and damaging public and political controversy.4 The current paper analyses some of the interactions between a further set of experts convened by the BMA in a different context, leading to the publication of a report on nutrition in 1950.5 In contrast to the situation in the 1930s, the second committee was * Mark W Bufton, PhD, Wellcome Centre for Medical 2For an account of the debate, see C Webster, History, SHIPSS, Amory Building, Exeter University, 'Healthy or hungry thirties?', Hist.

  • Un Matin D'été À Lurs, 5 Août 1952
    Né à Lyon le 9 décembre 1918, Jean Laborde est entré dans le journalisme après des études de droit. En 1945 il devient chroniqueur judiciaire de « France- Soir ». A ce titre, il assiste aux grands procès de l'après-guerre, dont celui intenté par l'un des premiers transfuges soviéti- ques, Victor Kratchvenko, à un journal français. Puis c'est l'affaire Dominici où Jean Laborde, après avoir assuré le compte rendu des audiences, se livre à une contre- enquête. Il assiste encore aux tumultueux débats de l'affaire Marie Besnard puis du procès de Pierre Jaccoud, l'avocat genevois accusé de meurtre. En 1964, il passe à « L'Aurore » où, tout en assurant encore la rubrique judiciaire lors du procès des ravisseurs de Ben Barka notamment, il fait du reportage poli- tique et économique. Il a écrit de nombreux romans dont certains sont inspirés par son expérience de la justice. Plusieurs ont été portés à l'écran : « Les Bonnes Causes », tourné par Chris- tian-Jaque avec Bourvil, Pierre Brasseur, Marina Vlady, « La Seconde Vérité » (Chris- tian-Jaque metteur en scène, avec Michèle Mercier et Robert Hossein), « Le Pacha », mis en scène par Georges Lautner avec Jean Gabin, « Les Assassins de l'Ordre », un film de Marcel Carné avec Jacques Brel. Marié, deux enfants, Jean Laborde partage sa vie entre Paris, la vallée du Rhône, où il a une propriété, et la Côte basque. Document de couverture : Photo A.F.P. Maquette Jean Denis.

IP address: The inmates of prisons are restricted to a rigid diet which they are unable to vary or supplement, and upon which they may have to subsist for long periods of time. It is therefore of cardinal importance that the diet scales provided for them should be 170.106.202.226 nutritionally adequate in every respect. There are numerous historical reports of malnutrition occurring in prisons. Between 1939 and 1944 it was found necessary to introduce a number of changes into the diets provided in prisons in England in order to maintain conformity with civilian rations. The present study was consequently , on planned and executed in 1944 in order to assess the nutritional adequacy of the diets 02 Oct 2021 at 10:35:48 then in force.

The diets of women in a big London prison and at a con- vict prison were analysed and the diets of adolescent boys were examined in a prison, a ‘closed’ Borstal insti~tionand an ‘open’ Borstal institution.

Its purpose was to provide an independent che:::k on the food consumption and expenditure of the population during the war and thus to ·assess the effectiveness of the Government's war-time food policy. Owing to the continuing food supply difficulties in the post-war period, and because the information provided by the Survey was found to be · of special value in relation to derationing and other aspects of post-war food policy, the Survey was continued in its war-time form until the end of 1949.

This well established view was challenged in 1929 by George Burr who reported that dietary fatty acid was required to prevent a deficiency disease that occurred in rats fed a fat-free diet. He concluded that fatty acids were essential nutrients, and he showed that linoleic acid prevented the disease and is an essential fatty acid. Burr surmised that other unsaturated fatty acids were essential and subsequently demonstrated that linoleic acid was converted to arachidonic acid and that linolenic acid, the omega-3 fatty acid analog of linoleic acid, also is an essential fatty acid. The discovery of essential fatty acids was a paradigm-changing finding, Downloaded from and it is now considered to be one of the landmark discoveries in lipid research. Supplementary key words linoleic acid α-linolenic acid arachidonic acid eicosapentaenoic acid www.jlr.org (EPA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) prostaglandins fat-soluble vitamins by guest, on May 14, 2017 In this era of genomics, proteomics and lipidomics, it is sobering to remember that a major question in biochemistry 100 years ago was whether fat is an essential dietary component.
