Soy food (MPF) offers challenge to world hunger: Meals for Millions Foundation proposes international conference to review the problem of world hunger. Soybean Digest. May. p. 20, 22. • Summary: Meals for Millions Foundation offers a scientifically developed dietary soybean product, Multi- Purpose Food (MPF), to help relieve malnutrition and hunger. “But this is merely a part of a much larger purpose that has animated the Foundation’s 11-year efforts, efforts that are completely unendowed and without government aid, but supported by the penny-power contributions of thousands of free Americans. “The larger aims of the Foundation’s program and product such as creating good will for the United States and relieving starvation were recognized in the two awards the Foundation received in 1956 and 1957 from Freedoms Foundation. These aims are evidenced by the collaboration now being accorded by such agencies such as USIA, ICA, FAO, UNICEF and the President’s People-to-People program.” Meals for Millions Foundation was incorporated in 1946. More than 95% of the bulk of MPF is soybean grits. The scientific explanation for the way this dietary supplement works is “synergistic action.” “This means that MPF provides not only its own concentrated protein, vitamin and mineral values but, in addition, increases substantially the biological value of the food to which it is added, even in very small quantities.” Photos show: (1) “Before: These six malnourished babies were admitted to the American hospital, Pago Pago, Samoa, by Dr. James R. Dean, public health officer. (2) After: Same babies as in first picture after 6 months diet of Multi-Purpose Foods. All showed gains of weight into the normal range. All showed improvement in motor response and bodily tone.” Example #1: A trial with two groups of 20 workmen in a factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil, showed that the group receiving MPF increased its relative production rate 10% above the control group. The men in the group also gained on average more than 2.5 pounds per man. Example #2: Miss Gladys Oberlin, the American nutritionist–directress of Instituto Ana Gonzaga, a Methodist missionary school in Rio de Janeiro used MPF to supplement the diet of 200 girls in her boarding school. Their usual meals were the standard but simple rice and beans for both lunch and dinner. At the end of 3 months Miss Oberlin reported that it actually cost less to feed the girls with MPF than without it. Moreover, the infirmary has been vacant for much of this test period. Yet the average MEALS FOR MILLIONS, SOY, AND FREEDOM FROM HUNGER 53 © Copyright Soyinfo Center 2011 daily amount of MPF that each girl received was only a little more than ¼ ounce.

The place of processed foods in the treatment and prevention of protein malnutrition in children. Indian J. of Pediatrics 25(123):216-27. May. [57 ref] • Summary: Contents: Introduction. Treatment of kwashiorkor: Vitamin therapy, the use of dried stomach preparations (e.g., hog’s stomach), the use of protein hydrolysate, human serum, plasma and blood, treatment with skim milk powder and proprietary casein foods, treatment with plant protein diets, soybean-banana mixture (Dean 1952), Bengal gram and banana diet mixture, low-fat groundnut flour–Bengal gram–skim milk diet mixture, possible sources of processed protein rich foods for the prevention of protein malnutrition, better utilization of soya and groundnut products, soya and groundnut milks (7 studies are summarized briefly), low-fat oilseed flours, balanced malt food containing soya flour and groundnut flour, Multipurpose food based on low-fat soya flour and groundnut flour, predigested foods, fish flour. Conclusion. “Introduction: It is now well recognized that protein malnutrition is widely prevalent among children in many tropical and subtropical countries (Trowell et al. 1954) (p. 216). “The foods that have been most extensively used in the treatment of kwashiorkor, are skimmed milk powder and calcium caseinate” (p. 217). “Treatment with plant protein diets: Of late it is being increasingly recognised that skim milk powder, though the cheapest protein food available so far for the treatment of protein malnutrition, cannot provide the basis for a large scale solution of the problem in underdeveloped countries, where skim milk powder is not available in sufficient quantities and has to be imported” (p. 218). “Better utilization of soya and groundnut products:... Both these foods are by themselves highly concentrated and difficult to be cooked properly. Consequently children may experience difficulty in digesting cooked [whole] soyabean or roasted groundnut (Aykroyd and Krishnan 1937). Recent investigations carried out in India and other countries have shown that both soyabean and groundnut could be suitably processed into milk which is highly nutritious and can be readily digested by young children (Dean 1953; Indian Council of Medical Research 1955). Low-fat flours obtained from soyabean and groundnut are also highly
