wheat: A Bargain in Food"
by Anna May and Dr.. James +.
Wilson, in the July issue Of To.
days Health, published by the
American Medical Association,
explains why people on reducing
diets are making a mistake II
they give up bread, -four and
other wheat products.
Oh. Wilson, who is secretary
Of the AMA's Council on Foods
and Nutrition, and his wife point
out that wheat -four furnishes
far more than calories.
"If you give up bread when
on q reducing diet" they say,
''you deny yourself an mex
pensive source of q number Of
things your body needs"
Bread contains q significant
amount Of protein. All Of the es-
sential amino acids. necessary to
good health are found in the
proteins Of wheat and bread.
However, the quantity and pro-
portions of these amino acids
are such that wheat proteins do
require experimentation with
animal proteins such as occur in

try. When eaten along with
these animal foods, it Is safe and
economical to supply one half to
two-thirds Of the bOdy'S daily
protein needs from plant
sources, the article says.
"At current prices" the artick'
goes on to say, 'ten cents worth
Of bread will give you almost
one third Of the daily recon-
mended allowance Of protein

600 food calories, which is about
one fourth the caloric needs Of

"Wheat protein today is con-
siderably less expensive than
the protein Of whole milk and
much cheaper than protein in
the form Of meat. Wheat pro.
teins are . real bargain"
Flour and bread have other
bonuses, according to the article.
In addition to the nutritive
values already mentioned, ten
cents worth Of bread will buy the
following portions Of the recon-

And It is not bread alone that
does this. Breakfast cereals and
