New fad wine lacks alcoholic punch

Dealcoholized wine is the latest
fad item to hit the gourmet shops —
and some people can even get drunk
on it.
Non-alcoholic wine has been

them as non-alcoholic.

Scientists now believe that what
you eat can influence how well you
operate — in other words, business
men can lunch to win.
Not only does diet have long-term
impact on physical fitness, according
to an article in the April issue of Sci
ence Digest, but within hours what
you eat can affect mental functions
such as attention span, memory and
mood.
The impact of some foods is so
marked and so specific, said Richard
Wurtman, professor of neuroendo
crine regulation at Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology, that these nu
trients have the same affect as drugs.
break down meals into their compo
nents and trace those components
through the digestive process, into
the blood and into various tissues
and organ systems.
Associated Press
Their research indicated that the
proportion of carbohydrate in the
diet indirectly determines the
amount of an important brain chem
ical called serotonin, Wurtman said.
Serotonin is derived from protein.
The neurons that produce seroto
nin are located in the brain stem and
communicate with brain centers that
control such factors as sleep onset,
appetite and mood.
“They give rise to important
changes in the chemical composition
of structures in the brain,” he said.
“And those changes can modify
brain function.”
Studies indicate a high-protein,
low-carbohydrate lunch will produce
sharper wits than a high-carbohy
drate pasta.
“The release of serotonin makes
people feel sleepy and less vigor
ous,” Wurtman has written.
Wurtman has found in experi-
emnts that after a high-protein meal,
laboratory rats had lower brain lev
els of serotonin and tryptophan, an
amino acid from which serotonin is
made.
Bonnie Spring, professor of psy
chology at Texas Tech University
and a former associate of Wurt-
man’s, tested college males by having
them eat a high-protein lunch one
day and a high-carbohydrate lunch
on another.
She said that after the high-carbo
hydrate meal, the students displayed
impaired concentration and slowed
response speed.
He said that when the rats were
fed a meal consisting entirely of car
bohydrates and fat but no protein,
brain levels of tryptophan and sero
tonin increased.
Eating a high-protein, low-carbo
hydrate lunch will not guarantee ev
eryone a top-performance af
ternoon. Spring pointed out that
metabolic profiles vary from person
to person, depending on everything
from age to environment.
Spring added that college stu
dents are the toughest test because
they are at their peak of mental and
physical durability.
Wurtman and his colleagues have
devised a variety of experiments to
In a study that included men and
women of different ages, published
during 1983 in the Journal of Psy
chiatric Research, Spring reported
that people over 40 snowed a greater
loss of concentration after a high-
carbohydrate meal than did the
younger people tested.

Singer: '348 lbs. of Rock'
Stout star rolls Mexico
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Making his
weight an asset, entertainer Vitorino
has become a classic overnight suc
cess story here with the motto “158
Kilograms (348 pounds) of Rock.”
He made his debut in November,
but already his songs are heard fre
quently on the radio and he appears
on the major television programs in
Mexico.
Vitorino, whose style is similar to
such 1950s stars as Bill Haley and
the Comets, claims he is the first
purveyor of authentically Mexican
rock music.
“My secret has been the creation
of a new sound, without imitating
anyone,” he said in an interview.
“Something really ours, since never
before has anyone made Mexican
rock which would respect our roots.”
However, his publicity concen
trates on his figure as much as his
music. The title of his first record is
“150 Kilos of Rock.”
“Whatever Vitorino has in weight,
he also has as a good singer and
composer,” wrote Musical Notes, a
specialized music magazine, in its lat
est edition. Others nave compared
him to Fats Domino or Barry White.
Vitorino himself recognizes that
overeating is a disease that must be
cured. He has formed a group called
“Gluttons Anonymous,” which first
was considered a joke but now has
more than 50 members.
“Jokes about my figure don’t con
cern me,” the 35-year-old enter
tainer said. “They never have both
ered me. The only thing that
interests me is my music.”
He plans to take his act abroad
soon, traveling to Costa Rica, Pan
ama, Peru, Ecuador and, at the end
of March, to Dallas.
Vitorino insisted that “before me,
all rock that was heard here was ag
gressive and protest music. Mine is
simple, natural, spontaneous, ad
dressing only trivial things.”
Unlike the majority of singers of
what is called “modern music” here,
Vitorino has little respect for such
famous American entertainers as
Prince and Michael Jackson, v
extremely popular in Mexico.
“They’re too elaborate, a
and are good only because of ll
productions,” he said.
Vitorino generally wears sequin
costumes.
He made previous attempt
break into show business here,
never was successful and spent® 1
of his time developing a used‘
business instead. His first record
nally came out in November and*
a quick hit.
The new star has been ear®
good reviews as well as record sal&
“Overnight, he has given ag® 11
bath and an example to many
ers who have spent several ^
wanting to make good rock in Sp®
ish and, however, have notbeenl
to make any headway in the tastf 11
the majority,” musical critic M
oldo Guerrero has said.
Among his songs are “Notevof
rogar,” or “I’m Not Going toBef
“Somos rockers,” or “We are R(*
ers”; and “Es el rock y escuchen,
“It’s Rock and Listen.”
