Experimental Rickets: The Effect of Cereals and Their Interaction with Other Factors of Diet and Environment in Producing Rickets (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Rickets and diet collide in this scientific study of cereals and bone health.
This book examines how different cereals influence bone calcium deposition and how this interacts with other dietary factors and environmental elements like ultraviolet light.
The author shows that cereals do more than provide energy. Through controlled experiments, he demonstrates that oatmeal, polished rice, and other grains can alter the course of rickets in growing animals, and that cereal effects can be modified by fats, minerals, and even exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The work highlights the need for balance among dietary components and offers insight into how diet, environment, and nutrition science connect to bone development.- Learn how different cereals affect bone calcification and growth in animals.
- Explore how anti-rachitic vitamins and minerals interact with carbohydrate-rich foods.
- See how ultraviolet exposure can modify or counteract diet-driven rickets.
- Understand practical implications for balance in diet and nutrition science.
