The Importance of Starch

THE dominant role of starch in human
i nutrition might be inferred from the fact
that starch constitutes from one-half to
three-fourths Of the solid matter OF cereals
and fully three-fourths of the solids of po-
tatoes,
The widespread prejudice against starch
is absolutely without foundation. Starch
is the most innocent of all the elements
of ordinary food There is virtually no
disease which can be attributed to the use
Of starch, Fats, when used too freely give
rise to 'biliousness." Excess of protein
encourages intestinal toxemia and over
works the kidneys.
Starch, however, may be taken with
great freedom without producing any IN
effects. 1t Is the most easily and COM
pletely digestble Of all the foodstuffs If
more is taken than is needed for Immediate
use, II Is deposited as fat Starch is some-
times charged as being the cause of gastric
