Why does not man weigh a pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process Of mastication, de-
glutition, etc, certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else OF any muscle necessitates a tenn
porary waste of its tissues, and GER
tain amount OF carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course OF the
meal. This loss, however, is trlfing as
compared with that due to respiration
and perspiration, both OF which are In
creased during the various operations
of making meal. The length OF time
one may take to consume a pound OF
Of food makes but little difference to
these losses, for II it is eaten leisurely
there is but slight increase of respira-
ton or perspiration, whereas II it is
hurried through both are abnormally
accelerated. Hence, by the time the
pound is eaten, the consumer has last
appreciably in moisture and caroonic
acid.
