On
the
score
of
what
to
eat
I
would
reiterate
what
I
have
said
about
the
use
of
foods
in
their
natural
condition.
The
refinement
of
various
foods
has
made
them
entirely
unfit
for
human
consumption.
Of
first
importance
without
doubt
is
the
use
of
the
whole
grain
of
the
wheat
for
flour.
Wheat,
as
produced
by
the
Almighty,
is
practically
a
perfect
food,
containing
all
the
elements
required
by
the
human
body
and
in
a
proportion
not
very
far
from
that
found
in
the
body.
In
modern
methods
of
milling,
however,
the
effort
is
made
to
eliminate
everything
in
the
wheat
grain
except
the
pure
starch,
which
naturally
makes
a
fine,
smooth,
white
flour.
The
miller
is
not
absolutely
successful
in
his
endeavor,
but
he
does
succeed
in
robbing
the
product
of
the
natural
state,
that
is
in
an
uncooked
form,
salt
can
be
more
easily
avoided,
but
cooking
in
many
instances
modifies
the
flavor
to
such
an
extent
that
salt
seems
necessary.
I
am
not
prepared
to
admit
that
it
is
a
necessity,
for
I
know
of
many
who
avoid
the
use
of
salt
altogether
and
who
have
maintained
unusual
vital
vigor.
I
have
known
of
others,
however,
who
have
tried
to
eliminate
salt
from
their
diet
and
the
results
have
been
unsatisfactory.
We
may
therefore
say
that
in
most
cases
the
moderate
use
of
salt
can
be
recommended.
One
of
the
most
interesting
expressions
of
opinion
on
the
subject
of
salt
that
I
have
seen
was
a
statement
by
Stefanson,
the
Arctic
explorer,
in
his
"My
Quest
in
the
Arctic,"
in
which
he
discusses
the
diet
of
the
Eskimos
and
their
constitutional
aversion
to
salt.
