important element nitrogen is furnished
to the human body. The substance is
absolutely necessary for the building and

The best known foods rich in protein
include meats, fish, eggs, mix, cheese,
egumcs, nuts, etc The proteins OF the
different foods vary somewhat in char
acter II does not make mucn difference
from which materials 1dcr persons get
their supply OF protein, though a variety
