Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...were in 15.4 grams of true protein and the balance in amino-acids and other nitrogenous non-protein matter of vegetable origin. Here nitrogen equilibrium was nearly attained, the nitrogen ingested being 4, and that excreted 4.28 grams. The food given, which was rich in carbohydrates, contained 2717 calories, or 43 calories per kilogram, and the total metabolism as estimated by respiration experiments indicated a heat production of 2082 or 32 calories per kilogram. Here was practically nitrogen equilibrium maintained at the minimum level, and a low total metabolism which was largely at the expense of carbohydrates. It will be recalled that the quantity of nitrogen in the urine in the average fasting man who has been previously well nourished is 10 grams, a minimum which is reducible only by carbohydrate ingestion. The experiments of Siven did not satisfy people that a low protein metabolism was compatible with continued health and strength. Munk3 and Rosenheim4 both found that dogs given a quantity of protein sufficient only to maintain nitrogen equilibrium gradually lost strength and became afflicted with diges 1 Woods and Mansfield: "Studies of the Food of Maine Lumbermen," U. S. Department of Agriculture, 1904, Bulletin 149. 2 Siven: "Skan. Archiv fur Physiologic," 1901, Bd. xi, p. 308. s Munk: "Archiv fur Physiologie," 1891, p. 338. 4 Rosenheim: Ibid., p. 341. tive disturbances. These experiments fortified the idea of the benefits to be derived from a diet containing more protein than was necessary for the maintenance of nitrogen equilibrium--a luxus consumption. Rubner declares that a large protein allowance is the right of civilized man. The tradition that a continued liberal allowance of protein in a diet is a prerequisit...
