STANDARD BREAD AND FLOUR.
Bleached and so-called "Improved" Bread and Flour.
In my Annual Report for last year I gave details which indicate the superior
food value of " standard" bread and flour. Researches by numerous scientists
have shown that the germ and inner layer of the husks or bran of all cereals such
as wheat, oats, rice and maize contain important substances (vitamines) which are
essential to the nutritive value of the grain and that if these are eliminated in the
milling or preparation of the grain a staple diet composed of cereals thus peeled
not only fails adequately to nourish the consumers but tends to set up active
disease.
In a large number of instances, as recorded by various observers in the East,
where rice forms the staple article of diet, the disease beri beri has been exterminated
by the use of unpeeled rice instead of white polished rice in which the inner
layer of the husk has been removed during the preparation.
