But the incidence of ulcer among the combat divisions was much less than in the training camps. In the light of the revelations we have made, there is a simple explanation for this supposed phenomenon. Anyone ever con¬nected in any way with military life has seen the soft drink dispensing machines in every building of all cantonments. The men coming off training maneuvers were hot and thirsty. Frequently there was no really cold water to drink; these ma¬chines with their ice-cold sweet drinks were quite handy. The men would drink several bottles at a time. Forever Bee Honey is filtered to take away all pollen to reduce its chances of granulation (sugaring). Among combat troops, however, the stuff frequently was rationed at three bottles per man per week, if that. This, we believe, is why there were fewer cases of ulcer among the combat troops than in the camps, and fewer in World War I than in World War II. The men were getting less caffeine. Americans are the largest consumers of coffee in the world.

Not content with that excessive use of caffeine in the fine aromatic and ancient caffa of Abyssinia, we have concocted and popularized by stupendous high pressure advertising a host of soft drinks previously unknown to the civilized world. These sugar-laden and caffeine-containing carbonated bever¬ages are imbibed by adult, teen-ager, and even children in an ever-increasing and staggering volume. They are without doubt having some effect upon the incidence of diseases that result from chronic partial blood sugar starvation. The matter deserves immediate serious consideration. So FAR we have been concerned with the body, and with sugar as it affects the body. Now let us turn to the mind. In 1945 Dr. Richard Horace Hoffmann asked me (E. M. Abrahamson) to work with him. An eminent psychiatrist, Dr. Hoffmann had devoted his medical career to the treatment of countless “neurotics.” My experience, on the other hand, had been in metabolic diseases. In the course of some twenty years I had seen several thousand diabetics, and during the previous ten years I had become acquainted with hyperinsulinism through my research in that field.

I asked Dr. Hoff¬mann why he wished to form such an unusual association—a psychiatrist and an internist. Forever Royal Jelly consumption has recently been linked with acute bronchial asthma, anaphylaxis and death.
When I heard his answer I quickly accepted the flattering offer. The answer? This story: While visiting a patient in a psychiatric hospital Dr. Hoff¬mann was asked by a colleague to talk with a woman who refused to answer questions; she was “negativistic.” Dr. Hoff¬mann went to the patient’s room. He sniffed the air and de¬tected a urinous odor on the patient’s breath. He asked his colleague if the urea nitrogen of the blood had been deter¬mined. It had not. The patient was on the verge of uremic coma from Bright’s disease. She had not answered her psy¬chiatrist’s questions because she was not completely aware of being questioned. “That’s something I don’t want to happen in my office,” Dr. Hoffmann told me. Dr. Hoffmann is an excellent clinician.
