Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chemistry of Food and Nutrition
The nutrition of the body includes all those processes which have to do with the upbuilding and repairing of the tissues and supplying them with fuel for their work. Lusk defines nutrition as: The sum Of the processes concerned in the growth, maintenance, and repair Of the living body as a whole, or of its constituent organs.
Most of the nutrient material contained in food requires more or less change to bring it into the exact forms most useful in nutrition. These changes as a rule take place in the digestive tract and together constitute the process of digestion.
