[Medical and prophylactic nutrition in workers under harmful conditions].

The paper assesses the traditional and current methods in the organization of providing workers with medical and prophylactic products. It raises the question as to the value of milk as a detoxicant, an antidote, that aids in eliminating harmful substances from the organism of workers who are in contact with noxious occupational factors. Consideration of this issue may be presently regarded as actually urgent and timely since present-day developments in preventive nutrition of the population provide a possibility of using foods (beverages) that are of great rational benefit to the health of the persons exposed to poor industrial factors.
