The Chemistry of Food and Nutrition

"Popular literature abounds in unsound statements on food. It is unfortunate that many ardent workers in the cause of health are lacking in scientific knowledge, especially of physiology and chemitry. By their weekping statements from the platform and press, they often bring discredit on a good cause. Matters of health must be primarly based on experience and we musht bear in mind that each person can at the most have full knowledge of himself alone, and to the less degree of his family and intimates. The general rules of health are applicable to all alike, but not in their details. Owing to individual imperfections of constitution, difference of temperarment and environment, there is a dnager when one man attempts to measure others by his own standard." A.W. Duncan
