Abstract
THIS little book covers a lot of ground. Essentially, Miss Grant sets out to prove that white bread—or "murdered bread" as she prefers to call it—is responsible for much of our poor and indifferent health, and she pleads the case for wholemeal bread as the remedy. The book contains much scientific material, and although some of it is not very critical, the case is skilfully presented. It is suggested, for example, that because nicotinic acid helps to create skin beauty, "one of the best and easiest ways of ensuring a flawless complexion is to eat whole-wheat bread".
