CYCLAMATES OFF GROCERS' SHELVES! We fervently hope that this is only the begin- ning and that in the coming years our federal agencies will continue to seriously investigate the dozens of additives, pesticides, and contami- nants that are used to preserve, color, fumigate, age, bleach, stabilize, emulsify, smoke, pickle or thicken about 97% of the food items in the supermarket!

The Yogic concepts of what constitutes true nourishment differ in a number of important re- spects from those with which most people in the western world are familiar. In addition, the objectives of eating transcend simply nourish- ing the body and sustaining life. Here is what is involved: the aim of the student of Yoga, through his practice of the exercises, breathing 8
