"Encyclopedia of Diet: A Treatise on the Food Question, Vol. 3" by Eugene Christian is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The volume focuses on the chemistry of food and the human body, discussing the art of combining foods in ways that promote proper digestion and elimination, with the goal of improving health and addressing digestive disorders. This work is part of a multi-volume series intended to educate readers on nutritional science and optimal dietary practices. The opening portion of the text introduces fundamental concepts regarding food chemistry and its implications for digestion and nutrition. It explores the historical context of cooking, detailing the effects of heat on various food types, including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The author emphasizes the significance of understanding these chemical changes and outlines the misconceptions surrounding cooked versus uncooked food. In particular, he lays the groundwork for lessons on food combinations and presents tables that detail harmonious and discordant food pairings. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how dietary choices can influence physical well-being. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
