USE OF MINERAL OH
7ith the. scarcity of butter, other animal
fats and edible vegetable oils, many
people are turning to mineral oil for cook
ing purposes and the preparation of salad
dressings and mayonnaise. The indiscrim
inate use of mineral oil can be harmful.
The American Medical Association has fre
quently warned the public that when used
as a medicine or as substitute for food,it
should be taken only under the direction o
a physician.
Mineral oil is not absorbed by the body.It
acts as a lubricant. But because of its
oily nature it will absorb vitamins A,D an
K from foods eaten, depriving the body of
these valuable vitamins which may result
in deficiency diseases. It may also inter
fere with the absorption of the minerals
calcium and phosphorous. Hence it is not
advisable to use mineral oil with foods.
