CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF FOODS.

·1891·JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association

Abstract

One of the first of the artificial foods for infants, was that ofLiebig. It was made by a master hand, so far at least as its chemistry was concerned. It contained the exact amounts of albumin, sugar, fat, and salts necessary for the nutrition of the child. But an extensive use proved that it failed in its object. The lesson which it teaches is only slowly gaining ground. That lesson is, that the animal organism requires something more for its maintenance than so much albumin, so much fat, and sugar, and mineral matter, It requires that these substances shall be of such kind, and in such form that they can be both digested, and assimilated. The examination of the food of the properly nourished individual, shows that he requires for instance, a given amount of proteid. Certain foods contain the proper amount of proteids. It is thereupon assumed that

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
