Description

In despite of the improved procedures of the occult-blood tests of feces, the dieticians frequently meet some difficulties in preparing a menu for the patients, because it is very important to control diets prior to these tests. Some of the vegetables, which are boiled more than thirty minutes, are proved to be available for this purpose. The foodstuffs, which might cause a false positive reaction unspecificially in the tests, should be excluded from this menu. In this experiment, the authors reexamined the influences of cooking for occult-blood tests, using the 68 vegetables and 28 meats, and attempted to magnify the materials in the list of control-diets.<br>Four methods are employed as occult-blood tests; Hematest B, Benzidine test (Adler), Pyramidone method (Adler) and Guajac method (Deen). The occult-blood test, in vitro, are carried out on each food material before and after cooking. The same procedures are done on the feces of healthy volunteers with the same materials. The number of false positive vegetables in all vegetables is markedly reduced after three minutes' boiling. The same result of decrease is obtained on the feces with boiled vegetables, being more prominent in degree than on fresh vegetables only. These results, however, are not obtained on the meats.<br>The present data shows that the control of diets and the method of cooking previously employed for the occult-blood tests are too much exaggerated.
