DEMAND FACTS
About What You Eat

NOOOS WnAt you Eat
When 1t comes to food, demand to
know the facts about what goes into
your stomach.
Not only that it is pure. but that
you are not deceived in the descrip-
tion Of its contents and condition.
Some faxed breakfast foods that have
thus far failed are now being adver-
tised In close imitation of the Grape
Nuts advertising, thinking in that way
to finally make a success of the fail
ure.
But false statements Of the merits
OF human food will never on earth
build up business. These faxed
Goods are not pre-digested. They are
not fully cooked and the starch in
them is starch still, and has not been
turned to sugar as claimed.
Chemical analysis tells the truth
and the analysis of the famous chem
lists OF the world show Grape-Nuts the
only prepared breakfast food in
which the starch part of the wheat
and barley has been transformed into
sugar and therefore ready for immedi-
ate digestion. Why Is this true? All
the thin rolled flake foods are made
by soaking the grains of wheat or
oats in water. then rolling. drying and
packing. These operations do not
cook or pre-digest the starch.
Contrasted with this pretense, OBJ
serve the care, method and skill in
1ipaking Grape-Nuts.
The barley is soaked about one
hundred hours, then it is slowly
warmed for some days and sprouted.
the diastase being developed and part
Of the starch turned to sugar (and
later on all OF i), then the grains are
baked and the sprouts stripped of.
Then comes grinding, sitting and mix
Ing with the creamy colored -four
made from white and maccaroni
wheat. This mixture must be skill
fully made in right proportions. This
blended flour contains Just the ingred-
tents demanded by nature to rebuild
the soft gray substance in the nerve
centers and brain, but how to make
the food easy to digest, that was the
question.
1t certainly would not do to mix in
drugs, for there Is a certain failure
sure to come to the person depending
on drugs to digest food. They may do
for temporary expedient. but pure
food and digestible food is the only
final resort and safe way. So to
change the remaining starch part and
prepare the other elements in this
blended flour it Is made up into mas
sive loaves like bread, the inside be-
ing dark cream color and quite sticky
to the touch. These loaves are sliced
and again go through long cooking at
certain temperatures. Then the rock
hard slices are each one carefully in.
spected and ground ready for packing
and use, having gone through 10 or IL
hours in the different operations.
AWhen finished, each little granule
Will show sparkling substance on its
surface. A magnifying glass will
bring 1t out clearer and develop little
pieces of pure dextrose sugar, not
put on "or poured over" (as the head
of large Sanitarium once stated in
his paper, thus exposing his appalling
ignorance of food processes), but this
sugar exudes from the interior of each
as the starch is slowly turned to
sugar in the process Of manufacture.
This kind of sugar is exactly like
what is found in the human intestines,
provided the starch Of the grains, po-
tatoes, bread. rice, cake, etc.. etc., has
been perfectly digested. But manly
are weak in that form of digestion,
and yet need the starches, SO Grape
Nuts supplies them pre-digested and
ready to go quickly into the blood.
Visitors are shown freely through
the works and can follow the steps of
making Grape-Nuts from the grain to
the finished product The proportions
OF different kinds Of flour, and the
temperatures are not disclosed and it
seems impossible for others to steal
these secrets of the makers. But
purity, cleanliness and skill are shown
in every corner Of the immense pure
food factories. People who care for
results from choicely selected food,
those who want the food to rebuild
the soft gray substance In brain and
nerves that give the go, the vigor, the
life, will understand why the imita-
tors who try to copy the announce
ments about Grape-Nuts have failed
iUfhe past.
There's q reason Cor Grape Nuts and
. profound one.
