Description

Excerpt from Science of Nutrition: Treatise Upon the Science of Nutrition It had been my intention to adopt a more modest name for this compendium of my experiments and I am warranted only by the approval and advice of my scientific friends and co-luborers in a field that has yet been only partially explored in adopting the form of my title. Without their aid and counsel I should have been able to give only a few crude hints for others to work out. Much delay has occurred in the publication of this book. It has grown upon my hands, and in its final shape it is not in as good a form as I could wish; but time is wanting for further correction. As the line of investigation has opened, it has become apparent that we were at the very beginning of what will be necessary in order to establish a true Science of Nutrition; yet more before the facts that have been developed by science may be converted into a simple art that any one may practice. Suffice it that by the aid of my friends I may have been able to put, in this unsatisfactory form, a considerable part of what may yet be called the alphabet of the Science of Nutrition. I venture to hope that others more competent may take up this work and perfect my crude inventions. In one of my earlier treatises upon the Art of Cooking I ventured to bring out the importance of this subject in the following terms: Popular Science Monthly, November, 1889. I will challenge attention and discussion by first submitting some very positive and dogmatic statements, subsequently sustaining them by such proofs as I have to offer: 1. Special apparatus for broiling and frying has been adequately and suitably developed for the use of those who can afford these somewhat wasteful methods of preparing food, yet excellent when skillfully practiced. 2. The ordinary methods of frying are utterly bad and wasteful. 3. Bread may be baked suitably in a brick oven and also economically when the work is done upon a large scale.
