About Bread,

Bread Is the staff of life, but few OF
us know why certain kinds of bread
make more sturdy staff than other
kinds. An expert has stated that II
whole wheat bread had been eaten and
white bread forbidden. the present
national decay of teeth would never
have happened. Flour made from the
whole grain has twice the protein and
only a third of the water In ordinary
"white" -four. Bread Is such an excel,
lent food because but Az per cent OF
its solids escape absorption by the
body. If milk were drunk with bread
practically every crumb would be alb
sorbed in nutriment Ordinary white
bread contains 40 per cent of water.
The FIAT" In bread Is just l per cent
Of its total ingredients. The rest Is
made up Of protein (the basis of life).
starch, sugar, dextrin, cellulose (indi-
gestibe). and mineral matter. New,
moist bread is extremely hard to d.
gest because it produces no apprecia-
bile flow of saliva In the mouth during
masticatiOn. A slice of ordinary day
old bread is not digested until 1t has
been in the stomach two and half
hours Wheat can be eaten in its en-
tire state. If soaked for long time in
water. then boiled in milk, and sugar
added. This Is the ancient "frumenty."
Real brown bread is made from stone
ground -four, manufactured from the
whole grain.
