food, they aro moro easily oxidized than
tho proper fat of tho body, aud so tho
proper fat accumulates instead of vast
ing. *
The sources of fat in tho body were
found to be three: First, tho splitting
up of the nlbumon of the food; second.
the transfer of that fat digcsted rs food
and third, fat formed from starchcs taken
in too largo quantities.
The noxtstdp was to consider what con
ditions of the body tended to hoard up
this fat. 1t is known that NIL tho cells

1t hns been determined that the fol-
lowing quantities Of tho food Glasses arc
equivalents in that each yields an equal
quantity of cnorgy measured as heat: Fat,
100 grams; albumon, 211; starch, 232 |;
cane sugar, 234; glucose, $50. +
From this 1t appears that an asculnula.
tion of fat will most readily occur wien
the dict contains an overplus Of fat. II
II bc supposed Tint man who required
11S grams of albumen and 2b9tof -fat
should take albumen only he would hive
to cat six pounds of lean ment alonn to
keep up his supply. But he could not
digest SO much meat as That. II he took
tho albpmcn and excluded fat, hc would,
have to taiSca pound and n 1uarter.of
starchsto mako up for tho fat omitted.
If the man alto all three kinds of food he
would need I18 grams Of albumcn, 100
of fat, and 86S of starch. An excess in.
any ono would produce an accumulation,
OF fat. Now, ordinarily no man habitu-
ally eats meats composed of any one or
any two sorts of these foods. II he did
ne would hardly accumulate an ovcrplns'
OF fat, because Tho mohotony OF the diet
would produce n lack of appetite, aud so,
hciwould not become obese. But on a
mixed dict, containing plenty of fats and
starches, n little more albumen than .is
needed to maintain the cquilibrium of fat
and iicsh may be eaten. This sufplus OF
