It is a fundamental food for human beings of all ages. However, milk does not contain ahl the food requirements in cor- rect proportion. It is about from 84 to 85 per cent water. It con- tains an emulsified fat, commonly known as butter which is chiefly digested in the stomacb. All other food fats take much longer to break down and are digested in the intestines. The protein of milk bas all the factors wbich sustain life as it contains important mineraIs and vitamins. However, it is deficient in iron, iodine, vitamin Bl or thiamin and vitamins C, and Di. Milc is a "Jekylh and Hyde". Considered a fine ail-round food, it at the same time is a culture rnedium for fermentative, putre- factive and virulent disease germs. Dr. John R. Fraser, Dean of Mvedicine at McGill University, Vlontreal, has stated tbat "unsafe milk bas been responsible in the past for more deaths and ihlness than ail other foods grouped to- gether". And, even dlean milk can be un- safe, despite all possible precau- tions at the source of supply. Therefore, milk must be put through some process that wihl kill disease germs before it is bottled in order to make it safe. That process is pasteurization. This is subscription time.
