One
can,
however,
maintain
good
health
without
being
what
might
be
termed
a
dietetic
crank.
To
be
sure,
where
one
is
suffering
from
a
disease
or
is
definitely
in
need
of
some
special
diet
in
order
to
secure
certain
results,
a
very
rigid
diet
is
of
great
importance
and
should
be
adhered
to
strictly.
After
such
results
have
been
achieved,
however,
and
after
normal
health
is
regained,
you
can
secure
at
almost
any
well
supplied
table
a
selection
of
foods
which
will
furnish
satisfactory
nourishment.
Some
intelligence
in
selection,
however,
is
necessary.
There
are
a
few
articles
of
food
that
it
would
always
be
well
to
avoid.
For
instance,
nearly
all
white-flour
products
are
to
be
condemned.
This
means
not
only
bread
but
biscuits,
cakes,
crackers,
and
pastries
made
of
white
flour.
Unquestionably,
if
one
is
using
meat
freely,
white-flour
products
are
not
nearly
so
harmful
as
when
taken
with
a
vegetarian
diet.
The
meat
supplies
some
of
the
deficiencies,
though
not
all.
At
one
time
I
had
an
experiment
made
which
proved
in
a
striking
manner
the
defective
character
of
white
flour
as
a
food.
The
subject
tested
the
results
of
a
fast
of
two
weeks.
He
weighed
himself
before
and
after
the
fast
and
several
times
during
its
progress.
He
accurately
determined
his
strength
at
all
times,
before,
during,
and
at
the
completion
of
the
fast.
A
considerable
time
thereafter
he
experimented
with
a
diet
of
white-flour
products
for
the
same
period
of
two
weeks,
eating
white
flour
as
commonly
prepared,
in
the
form
of
bread,
cakes,
etc.
The
result
showed
that
he
lost
more
weight
and
more
strength
while
following
the
white-flour
regimen
than
he
had
while
fasting
absolutely.
This
would
seem
to
indicate
that,
in
this
case,
at
least,
white-flour
products
were
not
a
food,
but
a
slow-
acting
poison.
