The Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers will study the nutrition topic, “Food and Drug Interaction,” at their January meeting. The program will be held at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 2 at the Amissville Baptist Church. H.O.M.E. members and other interested individuals are welcome to attend.

“Present evidence does not indicate that drugs are causing widespread nutritional deficiencies,” said extension home economist Helen W. Smith, “but nutritionists, pharmacists, physicians and other healthcare professionals are becoming more aware of the food-drug interactions, and both they and consumers should watch for possible ill effects.” The purpose of this nutrition program is to alert individuals to ways some commonly used drugs affect “ our nutritional state, Mrs. Smith explained.
