VITAMINS IN BALANCED DIET
Early in the nineteenth century a remarkable and picturesque man convinced himself and many others that the milling which produced white flour left something out. We know now that it was part of Vitamin B, but we are a century later than he was. This zealous reformer, Sylvester Graham, born in Connecticut shortly after the American Revolution, was ordained a Presbyterian minister, but he became famous as a lecturer on temperance and dietetics, strongly advocating a whole-wheat flour named graham after him.
His cult was so popular that his followers were referred to as Grahamites. Easily one of the most famous of these was Lydia Pinkham. (We doctors think that if she had stuck to dietetics and left gynecology alone, she would have done much less harm.) There were many Graham boarding houses in the country where his theories were zealously adhered to.
But, as is usual with ardent reformers, there were those who took him with a large pinch of salt. Ralph Waldo Emerson referred to him as the “poet of bran bread and pumpkins.” Graham’s fame was widespread, for he was an exceedingly popular lecturer. He also had a cure for alcoholism which he based upon a vegetarian diet. However, he is still famous today largely because of his lectures on the science of human life, and especially because of his book on Bread and Bread Making. He most certainly was correct in his belief that whole-wheat is better than white flour, and today we continue to eat graham bread and graham muffins.
The vitamin-supplying vegetables, fruits, and cereals are now used freely as they were not in Graham’s day, a big improvement in diet. The modern prevalence of pure drinking water is also one of the greatest advances since his day, but few people drink enough, particularly women.
Graham was in full accord with that wise man, Samuel Johnson, in advocating cheerfulness at meals. Johnson said that kindness is better promoted, “where there is no solid conversation.” It was for this reason Sir Robert Walpole said, that “He always talked bawdy at his table because in that all could join.”
The millers of Graham’s time were removing a certain part of the grain in order to obtain a flour that could be easily stored without becoming rancid. This flour was white, and by clever publicity the public was led to admire whiteness. Now that the home use of flour has almost ceased, so has that advertising. But the modern interest in vitamins has once again aroused the forebodings that Graham had and the bakeries are “fortifying” their white bread.
This is the great modern paradox. Few words connected with health are better known that “vitamins.” Everybody is convinced that the body needs lots of them. At the same time food is being processed so that there are less and less vitamins in it. And there is more and more consumption of vitamin-less materials: soft drinks and ice cream, for instance. Until a few years ago no man ever took a vitamin pill. Today soap manufacturers sell them in astounding quantities. Euclid said that there is no royal road to geometry. So it is with health, but the multitude seems to be convinced of the opposite. They ignore the comparatively inexpensive balanced diets and spend vast sums for the magic multivitamins. But the Lord is good to us. There are lots of vitamins around and the amounts needed are minute. Most of the population get what they need and, although they waste a lot of money, that is not serious under modern economic conditions.
