TEIBIG. one OF the pioneers in the
II study of body fuels, was the first TO
discover that while all foods burn In
the body. there are marked differences
in the way in which different food sub
stances are used. Half century's re-
searches have at last made these DIFF
ferences SO that now We know that
there are three classes Of food fuels. as
follows:
First. Sugar, the chief body fuel, the
principal source of heat and muscular
energy The physiolog says. 'The
body burns sugar" and as we say that
an automobile burns gasoline. sugar Is
represented In the food not only as
sugar. but chiefly in the form OF starch
There are also many different KINDS OF
sugar The starches and sugars are
grouped together under the name OF
carbohydrates. BY the processes or dl-
gestion all the carbohydrates are con-
verted into dextrose, the form OF sugar
which the body uses as its chief fuel.
Second. Fat, storage fuel, sugar
cannot be stored in the body TO any
extent, but an almost unlimited amount
of fat may be accumulated. rat ls
burned only when the sugar supply Is
limited and surplus of sugar is stored
as fat.
Third Protein represented by the
white of egg, lean of meat, curd OF
milk, gluten of wheat and similar but
differing sorts of protein in fruits, grains
nuts and other vegetable foods. Each
plant makes its own kind of protein
Protein, so far as known, has but
one use in the body. viz. to repair the
working parts of the body machine.
Like sugar. protein cannot be stored.
but. unlike sugar. any surplus not needed
for repair of cells is Immediately dis
missed from the body through the kid
neys i'm the form OF urea, instead of
being converted into fat, as Is the case
with sugar.
This fact clearly indicates the i'm.
| portance of making the intake Of protein
| no greater than Is needed to furnish
material for tissue repair. Any surplus
/ throws an unnecessary burden upon the
! kidneys, which must tend to produce
premature failure and disease There
are also many other reasons for limit
| ing the protein intake 10 the actual
needs of the body. Protein is wholly
unSulted TO take the place OF sugar as
a current fuel for heat production and
to support muscular work or OF fat as
storage and emergency fuel.
In the process OF digestion all the
food fuels are broken up into simple
crystalline bodies, which readily under.
go absorption.
The starch is converted into sugar by
the action of the saliva and the PAN
create and intestinal juices.
| The fats are converted into soaps and
| glycerin and then reconstructed after
absorption.
The protens are very complex bodies
made up by various combinations of
about twenty simple elements Camino
