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! Read the labels and you will find sulphur dioxide, magnesium chloride, sodium alginate, monoisopropyl, benzoic acid, dimenthyl polysiloxane, stilbestrol, coal-tar dyes, ammo- nium chloride, mono and diglycerides, polyoxy- ethylene, aluminum sulphate, sodium nitrate and calcium hydroxide are common additives, one or more of which has been infused into just about every food item you pick up in your market.

The science of Yoga, offering a program of natural development for body, mind, and spirit, considers nutrition of paramount importance and has evolved, through the centuries, a philos- ophy of eating which today deserves the most serious attention of every American. 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
