Plain common sense shows the better way is to stop
food that evidently has not been digested
Then, when food is required use an easily digested
food GrapeNuts any other if you know to be pred
gested (partly dgested before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists from New
York, Chicago and Mshawaka, Ind who swore to the
analysis of GrapeNuts and that part of the starchy part
OF the wheat and barley had been transformed into
the kind OF sugar produced the human body by dgestng
starch (the large part of food).
Some of the State chemists brought ON Jbv the
weekly said Grape-Nuts could not be called pred
gesed food because all of it was digested outside
the body.
The other chemists said any food which had been
partly half digested outside the body was commonly
known as predgested.''
Splitting hairs about the meaning of word
is sufficient that if only one-half of the food is
predlgested,' it is easier weakened stomach and
bowels than food in which no part is predigested.
