The Natural Food of Man: A Brief Statement of the Principal Arguments Against the Use of Bread, Cereals, Pulses, and All Other Starch Foods (Classic Reprint)

The following pages, except the I ntroduction, are a re-publication of essays somewhat hurriedly written, partly in New York and partly in this country, while engrossed with professional and business cares. If there appears needless repetitions, especially in the I ntroduction, I ask attention to the following lines from Professor Max Muller :R epeat the same things over and over again, undismayed by indifference, ridicule, contempt, and all other weapons which the lazj mind knows so well how to employ against those who venture to disturb their peace by suggesting unwelcome truths. If the central thought that bread is the staff of death rather than life seems preposterous and absurd, I can only urge that many of the accepted teachings of science to-day would not have seemed less so a hundred years ago. After all, no amount of argumentation can settle this question. A few months trial with many, a few weeks will show such results that arguments become quite unnecessary ;and all, I think, must agree that if the main teaching of this little book is based on truth, it is scarcely possible to exaggerate its importance.
