Physiological economy in nutrition, with special reference to the minimal proteid requirement of the healthy man
R. H. Chittenden
How little protein can a healthy man live on? Chittenden of Yale put professional men and volunteers from the Army Hospital Corps on measured rations to find out, and recorded everything. The results challenged the heavy meat diets of his era and helped found modern nutrition science. Detailed tables, patient argument, a quietly radical conclusion. Read the experiment that shrank the American plate.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
