Though
bread
is
supposed
to
be
the
"staff
of
life,"
it
might
reasonably
be
termed
the
"staff
of
death"
when
it
is
made
entirely
from
white
flour
and
is
depended
upon
exclusively
for
nourishment.
It
is
well
to
point
out
also
that
bread
of
all
kinds
should
be
avoided
in
some
cases
of
weak
digestion.
Under
such
circumstances
it
often
irritates
the
lining
of
the
stomach
and
intestines.
When
symptoms
of
this
kind
are
noticed
bread
must
not
be
used-more
especially
when
made
with
yeast.
When
the
bread
is
made
without
yeast
and
is
masticated
very
thoroughly
it
may
do
no
harm.
There
are
instances
also
in
which
there
is
a
Strong
craving
for
white
bread
and
when
graham
or
whole-wheat
bread
is
not
appetizing.
When
one
has
an
abundant
variety
of
foods
and
the
alimentary
canal
is
unusually
active
the
desire
for
white
bread
can
be
satisfied
without
harmful
results.
In
fact
when
the
diet
is
varied
by
numerous
articles
of
food
at
one
meal
considerable
white
bread
can
be
used
if
it
is
appetizing.
Those
taking
the
treatment
for
constipation
recommended
in
this
book
often
stimulate
the
alimentary
canal
to
such
an
extent
that
graham
or
whole-wheat
products
are
slightly
irritating
in
their
effect.
As
long
as
such
symptoms
exist
white
bread
can
be
used.
Remember,
however,
that
whenever
there
is
the
slightest
sign
of
constipation
white
flour
products
of
all
kinds
should
immediately
be
eliminated
from
the
diet.
As
nearly
as
possible
foods
should
be
used
in
their
natural
condition.
Those
that
can
be
enjoyed
when
uncooked
are
more
valuable
when
eaten
without
cooking.
When
cooking
is
necessary
the
food
should
be
cooked
in
such
a
way
that
there
is
no
waste
nor
loss
of
the
natural
elements.
Steaming
and
baking
are
both
preferable
in
many
cases
to
boiling;
cooking
in
a
double
boiler
may
be
especially
recommended
in
the
case
of
vegetables,
as
these
are
in
such
a
case
cooked
in
their
own
juices.
Therefore
my
most
important
suggestions
on
what
to
eat
would
be:
first,
to
select
only
natural
foods;
and
second,
to
avoid
too
much
variety
at
one
meal.
As
to
what
sort
of
a
diet
one
should
adopt,
I
might
say
that
the
proper
answer
to
a
question
of
this
kind
depends
largely
upon
one's
individual
condition
and
requirements.
