Nature puts into the foods we eat the vital elements necessary for balanced health. Modern man has depleted many of them through zeal for overrefining, and through cooking methods of today. From the remaining third of our diet we must get the vitamin B complex and the minerals needed to burn up the inert calories. This is where we have been starving ourselves. Year by year, too, the national consumption of sugar has increased.
White sugar is a source of fuel and of nothing else.
It does not carry the vital elements necessary for its use in the body. To restore bread to its traditional virtue, the millers and bakers of the country are revolutionizing their industries. Whichever you choose, you get a more healthful food. But choose one of them. A further deficiency in modern diets can be corrected only by a 50 percent increase in our national production of milk and milk products.
