...under -still the most voracious breakfast-food eaters - is falling. But adults are gobbling up more cereal than ever. According to a study published by Wall Street's Drexel Burnham Lambert, the biggest increase in morning munching since 1972 is in the 19-to-49 age group. Those 50 and over have also increased their consumption. Says Arnold Langbo, president of the food products division of Kellogg, the industry leader: "Prior to the 1950s it was all family cereals like Corn Flakes. Then came the presweetened cereals like Sugar Smacks, and now we are aiming at a more mature...
...evening news shows or afternoon soap operas rather than on Saturday morning cartoons. Also, packages no longer carry pictures of gremlins or pixies to grab kids' attention. A box of adult-aimed Total, for example, carries enough charts and statistics to satisfy a computer programmer. Says General Mills Group Vice President Arthur Schulze: "People are interested in a low fat, low cholesterol diet. That helped these products...
Still, researchers now had enough interferon to move studies out of the laboratory and into the clinic. In 1972 Virologist Thomas Merigan, of Stanford University, and a group of British researchers began studying IF's effect on the common cold. Soviet doctors were claiming success in warding off respiratory infections with weak sprays of IF made in a Moscow laboratory. Merigan and his colleagues gave 16 volunteers a nasal spray of interferon one day before and three days after they were exposed to common cold viruses. Another 16 volunteers were subjected to the same viruses without any protection. The results...
...Cancer in Villejuif, France. He made his own interferon by injecting viruses into the brains of laboratory mice; that stimulated the production of IF. After mashing the brains and processing them, he was left with a crude but potent solution of interferon. He gave the IF to a group of mice injected with a virus that causes leukemia, a blood cancer. After a month, the interferon-treated mice were in good health; those in an untreated control group had leukemia. Gresser then went on to demonstrate that IF actually prevented leukemia in mice that had been specially bred to develop...
...metastasized. In most cases, that hope is futile. Without additional treatment, the cancer spreads rapidly to body organs, killing almost 80% of its victims within two years. Strander has now treated 44 of these patients with IF after surgery. More than half are alive after five years (in a group that did not get IF, less than 25% are alive...
