Excerpt from A Study on Food: With Special Reference to the Food Value of the Dietary at the New York City Municipal SanatoriumTwo groups of patients were selected. Group 1 was allowed milk and eggs in addition to the three meals, while Group 2 received only three regular meals daily. It was found that the patients in Group 2 (those who ate only three regular meals) averaged larger weight increases than those in Group 1. It was decided to discontinue the milk and egg diets that had been administered as a routine morning and after noon since the institution was opened, and to depend on the regular meals in all but exceptional cases. This policy was proved, by later experience, to be sound, and has been continued to date.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
