Comparative
Digestibility
of Fo od
Made with (&; :: Baking Powders
From a Series of Llahorate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made
with each of three riii'kiv.n kinds of baking powder
cream of tartar, jh.p:riu. and alum and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of tit no.
The relative percentage of the food digested is
shown as follows :
Bread made with
Royal Cream of Tartar Powder:
100 Per Cent. Digested
Bread made with
phosphate pow Jcr :
Bread made with
Itlum powder:
f 674 Per Cent! Digested
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source uf vuy many bodily ailments.
