Nutritional Benefits

Treatment of raw cow's milk with pancreatic proteolytic enzymes reduces curd tension to levels comparable to those achieved by many other methods suitable for the preparation of soft-curd milk. No other biologic or nutritional benefits have been shown to result from enzyme treatment of milk. No evidence is available for assigning any benefit in infant nutrition to the proteolytic activity naturally occurring in human milk or persisting in enzyme-treated cow's milk after pasteurization. Argument based on the mere existence of proteolytic enzymes in human milk cannot justify enthusiastic claims for use of enzyme-treated milk in infant feeding. The subject of enzymes in milk and their potential role in infant feeding has received scant attention; further study may reveal information which will call for reappraisal in the future.

The 19Th Century

This chapter traces the decline of milk from a heavenly elixir to a tradeable food. Early cultures regarded milk not as a simple nutrient, but a living fluid. Heroes and gods were believed to have been nurtured by animals after being abandoned. Character traits were assumed to be transmitted by milk, infantile diseases were attributed to ‘bad milk’, whereas ‘good milk’ was used as a remedy. With chemical methods developed at the end of the 18th century, it became known that human milk was higher in sugar and lower in protein than cow’s milk. During the 19th century, ‘scientific’ feeding emerged which meant modifying cow’s milk to imitate the proportion of nutrients in human milk. In Paris from 1894, Budin sterilized bottled infant milk. In Berlin in 1898, Rubner measured oxygen and energy uptake by calorimetry. These activities ignored the emotional dimension of infant nutrition and the anti-infective properties of human milk and may have enhanced the decline in breastfeeding, which reached an all-time low in 1971. Milk’s demystification made artificial nutrition safer, but paved the way for commercially produced infant formula.

The University

A “new charts program” for the Americal Association of Variable Star Observers was instigated in 1966 via the gift to the Association of the complete variable star observing records, charts, photographs, etc. of the late Prof. Charles P. Olivier of the University of Pennsylvania (USA). Adequate material covering about 60 variables, not previously charted by the AAVSO, was included in this original data, and was suitably charted in reproducible standard format.Since 1966, much additional information has been assembled from other sources, three Catalogs have been issued which list the new or revised charts produced, and which specify how copies of same may be obtained. The latest such Catalog is dated June 1978, and lists 670 different charts covering a total of 611 variables none of which was charted in reproducible standard form previous to 1966.
