Fine Flour and Appendicitis Linked to Milling Changes
A fifty year physician in Champaign Illinois argues that the shift to fine white flour from roller mills caused appendicitis. He notes low cases with coarse bread and in agricultural regions using small mills, while large mills and refined flour correlate with rising cases. He cites German and southern black populations adopting refined flour and later developing the disease, and recalls before 1875 few cases. The article includes an ad for Botanic Blood Balm claiming cures for various blood and skin diseases.
