Food and Morals: 6th Edition
Clymer, J. F. (John F.)
Food; Sermons, American -- 19th century
It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by whatever “new
process,” or under whatever brand, was a robbed, impoverished food,
and that attached to the bran or husk—which is excluded as it should
be—there is a layer of nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows
and horses. It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should
be deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this
wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which there is
no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised a method of
removing all the woody, branny, siliceous coats from the grain without
wasting one atom of the nutriment. Seeing that ordinary mill-stone
grinding tended to heat and impair the flour, it devised other and
better methods of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole
wheat flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called
“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with nothing
taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious addition of
grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the woody fibre and silex
which form the protecting, innutritious shell. Thus the theories of
the value of bread from the entire wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John
C. Warren, of Boston, in 1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester
Graham, were taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained
in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth really
existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved by exact
experiments and by scientific methods, has at length been made of
real value to the human race instead of continuing to be a source
of possible, and often of positive injury, by virtue of the errors
originally attending it. The perfect, branless flour of the entire
grain is called the COLD BLAST WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, and is, beyond
question, the most perfect bread-food in the world.
