ftegar'diiagCi The “vexed question of slimming,"’ a Potato Marketing Board’s pamphlet, by Dr,, 11. K. Archbold, states that, “there can be little doubt that: i' l spite of popular opinion to the contrary, the potato constitutes the ideal carbohydrate.” According.to one authority,' potatoes' “may well be retained hi even a rigorously reducing diet,” provided that such things as sweets and pastries' and excessive bread are banished. For those desirous of slimming without the irksomeness of rigid adherence to specified weights of food a satisfactory diet would be fish, eggs, and potatoes eaten as .desired. In feeding the under-nourished the potato is excellent for conveying fat in a manner acceptable to the patient. Other opinions declare that tho potato is— Highly digestible; A rich source of many of tho necessary mineral salts" '■
Vastly superior in vitamins to bread; Thfe'. chief iiniiscbrbutic of l man.; and One of the most important- sources of energy in a mixed diet.
