ENGLISH GOV’T
NOW ADOPTS |
STANDARD BREAD!
I — . !
| !
The London Daily News rejoicing
| in the new order of the English gov
| eminent which retiuires that bread
I shall consist of larger proportions of
j whole wheat, and not lie composed of
the line shams, but alone, it says
the war has killed many shams, but
none is more to be appreciated than
the banishment of the unwholesome
bleached Hour bread “w'lhch snapped
our people’s vitality." It then states
that six years ago, in 1911, eight of'
I the greatest British medical autliori- j
til's published a manifesto urging tho
importance of a legal standard for
bread. The exact standard which
they proposed was lixed for pylisio
logical reasons ut SO per cent of the
wheat grain. By using 80 per cent
of the kernel the germ and semolina,
which were then extracted and given
' to the cattle—though they wero the
most precious ingerdlents of the wheat
j —would have been used for human
I food. At that time a campaign for
the standard bread was made by the
Daily Ma'il and a number of physi
cians and opposed by millers who had
invested large sums in plants for
producing bleached flour. The new
idea took with the people and soon
7,000 firms were baking the standard
bread, although the percentage has
been raised one point, to 81.
Tile same conditions as to bread ex
ists in this country. It is recognized
by many physicians and most of the
scientists that the bleached flour is
an unwholesome food. There are peo
ple who cannot eat it without distress,
though not a few of them fail lo con
next the cause with the effect. That
to it are attributed many of the dis
orders of the stomach is believed, and
some are claiming that ulcers of the
digestive tract are due to its use. Hx
abolishment in England will proba
bly lead to a closer study of the effect
upon the health of its people.
