Dr H H Mitchell of the University of Illinois suggested at the Pacific Science Congress that the white bread diet could be improved for health by salting dough with calcium or increasing milk solids in bread. Dr Frederick F Tisdall of the University of Toronto cited a Toronto survey showing low income groups receive insufficient calories and nutrients.
