CHAPTER V
10/15

Dyspeptics who live on brown bread, or on so-called "health foods," are simply feeding their dyspepsia.
"Breakfast Foods." The same defect exists in most of the breakfast cereals which flood our tables and decorate our bill-boards.

Some of these are made of the waste of flouring mills, known as "middlings," "shorts," or bran, which were formerly used for cow-feed.

The claims of many of them are greatly exaggerated, for they contain no more nourishment, or in no more digestible form, than the same weight of bread; and they cost from two to five times as much.

As they come on our tables, they are nearly seven-eighths water; and the cream and sugar taken with them are of higher food value than they are.

They should never be relied upon as the main part of a meal.
Corn Meal.
