If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,
chew. until the food is liquid and in
sists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream. or allow
to stand minute soaking in cold cream.
There's a Reason as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form of
hard and brittle granules. intended to be
ground up by the teeth; that work not
only preserves the teeth but brings down
the saliva from the gums so necessary IN
the primary work of digestion.
Many people say (and it is true)
that when they eat Grape-Nuts they
seem able to digest not only that food
but other kinds which formerly made
trouble when eaten without Grape
Nuts.
