FRUIT AND NUTS AS FOOD.
Some Results of Government Exper
ments.

Scientific American.-Tne depart
ment of agriculture has for several
years been conducting a series of ex-
periments to determine the dietary
value of different foods. Nine dietary
studies and 81 digestion experiments
were carried on. In the majority OF
the dietary studies and all but one o.
the digestion experiments fruit and
nuts constituted all or almost all or
the diet. The results of the investiga-
ton emphasize the fact that both
fruit and nuts should be considered as
true foods rather than food &C
cessories. The subjects we're two
women, three children, two elderly.
men. and two university students.
The men all did hard manual labor
during part of the time. the students
working to support themselves while
pursuing their studies.
The fare given in these experiments
was in every case one that would an
peal TO any normal appetite. 1t en-
braced honey, tomatoes, apples.
bananas. cantaloupe, verbal, grapes.
cOrnichOn. tokay, muscat, scarlet
haws, pears, pOmegranatss, per
simmons, oranges, strawberries.
watermelOns, figs, almonds, AMI pea
nut butter. The only animal foods al
lowed were cottage cheese and eggs:
and these in limited quantities. The
cost of such diet varied from Is TO
is cents a day. Comparative expert
ments were carried along in which
animal foods were employed under The
usual conditions of living. and in these
the daily cost ran from 20 to 80 cents.
1t was found that the food eaten sup
piled about 60 per cent of the protein
usually secured by the average meat
diet. while health and strength con-
tinued the same, if not improved. and
in two or three cases there was
slight gain in flesh and weight.
One of the chief objects of the
series Of experiments was to furnish
data as 10 the value OF nuts as food.
Fruits contain little protein. and nuts
are relied on in the Unitarian plan OF
eating to balance the ration. Fruits
are rich in carbohydrates and nuts
in fat. A pound of peanuts. which
costs seven cents, furnishes LOCO
calOries of energy at a cost of 80
cents. and protein at a cost of 80
cents a pound. A porterhOuse steak
costs Tor the same result respectively
221a cents and S1.31, when the steak
can be bought for % cents 4 pound. =.
The average price per pound OF the
protein of nuts ranges higher than the
corresponding average of meats. but
the cost per pound of peanut protein
IS lower than for meats. fish. eggs.
milk, dairy products, and prepared
cereals. The only foods which furnish
protein at a less cost than peanuts
are flour and dried beans According
TO Prof. Jaffa's experiments. nuts are
the cheapest source of energy for the
Unitarian, the peanut ranging far
ahead of any other variety.
Although peanuts supply protein
and energy for a smaller sum than
bread. they are oUtTanked by -.ried
beans, which. at five cents a pound.
will supply for 10 cents over 200
grammes of protein and 3,O4O calories
of energy.
