A Very Good copy. A fascinating report about nineteenth-century scientific studies that looked into nutrition, the nutritive content of different foods, and how different food materials affect the human body. As noted in the beginning of the report, researchers studied the nutritive effects of different foods upon the human body by studying the University of California football team, a chemist and his family, and four infants. M. E. Jaffa, Assistant Professor of Agriculture at the University of California, writes in his Introduction, "These investigations include a considerable number of analyses of food materials, two dietary studies of adults (one with the family of a chemist, the other with a football team), four dietary studies of infants, one digestion experiment with an infant, and a metabolism experiment with an infant in which the balance of income and outgo of nitrogen was determined." Some of the experiments lasted for about a week while others lasted several weeks or months. Jaffa then briefly summarizes the purpose of food which is to maintain and refuel the body, "protect tissue from consumption," and preserve energy stores for future use. He notes the different caloric and food intake needs for individuals who are relatively sedentary (hence the inclusion of the chemist's family) and those who are relatively more active (hence the inclusion of the football team). There are several data tables printed throughout the report which list numerical metrics relating to the studies such as the amount of calories, water, fat, carbohydrates, and "ash" contained in different foods and the amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates consumed by the individuals in the studies. Among the first numerical data listed are the nutritive metrics of different foods. Some of the foods that were consumed by the adults during the studies were beef, pork, canned turkey, a variety of seafood (such as codfish, canned salmon, canned oysters, and canned shrimp), eggs, butter, milk, cheese, a variety of cereals (such as barley, cornmeal, and flour), a various vegetables (such as beets, lettuce, and potatoes), nuts, and various fruits (such as apples, bananas, oranges, and canned peaches). The infants were fed foods such as milk and sugar and, later, beef juice, gruel, and prunes as they progressed in age. The researchers made a number of conclusions based on these studies. For example, they compared the food and caloric intake of the football team to that of a boat crew (presumably from a previous study) and were perplexed when the former ate more than the latter. The researchers considered boat work to be more strenuous than that of the football team and concluded that the football team was overfed. Other parts of the studies document observations such as one of the infants showing reluctance to eat and indigestion occurring with specific foods. The researchers also posit that changes in climate (hot versus cold environments) affect what one eats and how the food is digested. Another conclusion made in the studies is that there is virtually no difference in nutrition between brown- and white-shelled eggs.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive look at the avocado, a fruit that has captivated taste buds and sparked culinary curiosity for centuries. The author dives into the fascinating history of the avocado, tracing its journey from its native origins in the Americas to its widespread cultivation in tropical regions around the world. A particular focus is placed on the avocado's introduction to California in 1870 and the subsequent boom in avocado planting throughout the state, driven by the fruit's popularity and high market value. The text delves into the avocado's cultural significance, exploring its use in traditional Mexican cuisine and its emerging role in the American diet. The author also delves into the science of avocado cultivation, providing detailed guidance on the ideal climatic conditions, propagation techniques, and orchard management practices. Detailed information on the different varieties of avocados, their distinct characteristics, and their suitability for different climates is included, offering a valuable resource for anyone interested in cultivating this unique fruit. Beyond its practical advice, this book also delves into the nutritional benefits of the avocado. The author highlights its exceptionally high fat content, which distinguishes it from most fruits and makes it a valuable source of easily digestible vegetable fat. This book offers a unique blend of history, horticulture, and culinary insights, providing a rich and informative exploration of the avocado.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents research on the eating habits of people following strict fruitarian diets, as well as observations on the dietary habits of Chinese Americans in the early 1900s. The author, an agricultural scientist, examines the nutritional content of various fruits, nuts, and Chinese foods alongside their digestibility and metabolic impact. The book provides unique insight into specific food consumption patterns and the contrasting dietary practices between fruitarians and Chinese Americans. It also delves into the significance of cultural influences in shaping dietary behaviors and explores the implications for promoting healthier dietary habits among these populations. Through detailed dietary studies and scientific analyses, this book contributes valuable knowledge to our understanding of alternative nutritional approaches and their potential health impacts.

Softbound. Condition: Very good. First Edition. US Department of Agriculture, Office of Experiment Stations, Bull. No. 107. The paper provides studies in two sections, the first being a record of dietary intake among a group of six individuals subsisting only on nuts and fruit and includes considerations on nutrition, digestion, metabolism and cost. The second half of the paper examines the dietary habits of three groups of Chinese Americans - a dentist's family, the members of a Chinese laundry association and a group of labourers on a Chinese truck farm - thus spanning a socio-economic cross-section. The latter study examined a community, while known at the time to be consumers of cereal grains, vegetables and fruit, who also consumed significant amounts of meat, fowl and fish. Conclusions were positive overall regarding the nutritional value of both fruitarian and Chinese American diets. Staple bound in printed wraps, small loss to bottom of final page (perhaps due to removal of a label); text not affected.
