Aucune rétractation de la campagne contre l'aluminium n'a été trouvée. La déclaration la plus proche qui ait été repérée est un bilan du 15 janvier 1936 dans lequel le magazine disait seulement qu'il avait publié des articles de santé 'from various sources' qui 'have not always been consistent with one another', qu'il n'avait 'no ambition to be known as a health magazine' et qu'il ne revendiquait 'no monopoly of wisdom on the subject'. Source: The Golden Age, 15 janvier 1936

Position de l’organisation ou explication ultérieure : L'article de 1936 ne retirait rien de précis. Dans le même texte, le magazine répétait que le poisson de Jésus 'certainly was not fried in an aluminum frying pan' et qu'il était 'nonsense to say that mankind must have 1,200 kinds of poison scratched into his arm to keep him well'.

The Golden Age, “Some Ideas on Health”

15 janvier 1936 · pp.227-228 · Golden Age Publishing Company, Brooklyn, New York

“In the past it has published numerous health articles from various sources where the writers seemed to know what they were talking about. These articles have not always been consistent with one another; which is not to be wondered at, because no two health experts agree.”

The magazine's own summing-up of its health content, opening the issue. It goes on: 'This is about all The Golden Age knows on the subject of health. It has no ambition to be known as a health magazine ... The Golden Age claims no monopoly of wisdom on the subject.' It also says 'Surgery is sometimes essential, but before submitting to the knife try the prescriptions above given', repeats that Jesus's fish 'certainly was not fried in an aluminum frying pan', and calls it 'nonsense to say that mankind must have 1,200 kinds of poison scratched into his arm to keep him well'.

Note de provenance et de vérification

Note sur la fiabilité. Read in the OCR text layer of the archive.org scan on 19 September 2026 on the leaves mapped to printed pages 226-228; the contents page (printed page 226) lists 'Some Ideas on Health ... 227', the leaf mapped to page 228 carries the running head '228 The Golden Age Brooklyn, N.Y.' and the leaves mapped to pages 229 and 231 carry running heads reading 'January 15, 1936'. The two-column OCR on page 227 is badly interleaved. The quoted sentence, and the phrases 'no ambition to be known as a health magazine', 'claims no monopoly of wisdom on the subject' and 'Surgery is sometimes essential, but before submitting to the knife try the prescriptions above given', were each read as an unbroken run of text. The sentence about 1,200 kinds of poison was not: it survives only as two overlapping partial renderings of the same interleaved column, which agree with each other, and is recorded on that basis.

Provenance de la numérisation. Internet Archive item '1936-1937TheGoldenAgeMagazine', uploaded by [email protected] to the 'faithmagazines' collection and marked public domain. Page numbers from the item's _djvu.xml leaf mapping joined to _page_numbers.json, cross-checked against the running heads reading 'January 15, 1936' on the following leaves.

Notes. The nearest thing found to a retrospective statement on the magazine's health content. It withdraws no specific claim, names no error and does not mention the aluminium campaign; it says only that the articles came from various sources and were not always consistent.
