To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the average published heretofore by these seven authorities recently mentioned, the proteid was about 17 per cent., the fat about 8.5 per cent., and the carbo- hydrate about 74 per cent., if we neglect the inorganic salts and the water. The whole principle underlying the right proportion of proximate prin- ciples in food is that an excess of one of them in the diet necessitates the useless expense of energy to digest and absorb this excess. In general terms, only milk and eggs contain the pr...oximate principles in just the right proportion. White bread perhaps approaches this condition next best. Rice, for example, contains about one-third the ideal proportion of nitrogen. The person who is compelled to live upon it continually, there- fore, has to burden his digestive apparatus with a large excess of carbohy- drate (almost wholly starch). In some South American tribes the diet was formerly, at least, almost wholly meat. These people would have to eat a large excess of the flesh to get a sufScient amount of carbohydrate.
