What to Eat and Why
The piece warns that half truths and old wives tales skew dietary choices. It urges reliance on science over fads, noting some myths are harmless while others harm health and that cheese is safe for those in normal health unless an allergy exists.
Meat digestion myths debunked in scientific tests
The text argues against common fallacies that light meats are healthier than dark meats and that specific meats like veal digest poorly. It notes no evidence that some meats are less desirable due to digestion, and explains digestion time varies with fat, cooking, and chewing, not meat type.
Cheese Diet Truths Over Constipation and Digestibility
A 1939 note from Houston Goudiss counters the belief that cheese causes constipation or is poorly digested. Tests show cheese digests well when properly incorporated, with about 95 percent of protein and fat absorbed. The piece urges balanced menus with bulk foods and warns against diet fads, advocating moderation and a well balanced diet.
