Produktbeschreibung
Salts and acids as found in organised forms are quite different in their effects to the products of the laboratory, notwithstanding that the chemical composition may be shown to be the same. The chemist may be able to manufacture a "fruit juice," but he cannot, as yet, manufacture the actual fruit. The mysterious life force always evades him. Fruit is a vital food, it supplies the body with something over and above the mere elements that the chemist succeeds in isolating by analysis. The vegetable kingdom possesses the power of directly utilising minerals, and it is only in this "live" form that they are fit for the consumption of man. In the consumption of sodium chloride (common table salt), baking powders, and the whole army of mineral drugs and essences, we violate that decree of Nature which ordains that the animal kingdom shall feed upon the vegetable and the vegetable upon the mineral.
Autorenporträt
Florence Daniel is not a widely recognized name in the pantheon of food and health literature, but her contribution, 'Food Remedies: Facts About Foods And Their Medicinal Uses', signifies an earnest endeavor to elucidate the healing properties of food. Although the particulars of Daniel's biography are not extensively documented, her work suggests a passionate involvement in the intersection of dietetics and well-being. In 'Food Remedies', Daniel embarks on an exploration of the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of various foods, a topic which has garnered substantial attention in the realm of alternative medicine and holistic health practices. The text, which serves as a bridge between culinary knowledge and medical insight, reflects a tradition of literature that advocates for the medicinal power of natural food substances. Daniel's literary style is characterized by its practicality and accessibility, aiming to empower readers with knowledge that could be applied in everyday life. While the book might not have the scientific rigor of contemporary nutritional science, it embodies the early 20th-century zeitgeist of investigating the natural world for solutions to health issues. This work, a testament to her interest in health and nutrition, continues to resonate with those who embrace the concept of food as a cornerstone of wellness.
