In peptic ulcer, meat digestion is not impaired so far as concerns the stomach's ability to secrete gastric juices. If a patient fails to secrete the juices on both meat and bread diets, that is serious. Such failure is a sign of cancer of the stomach, of pernicious anemia, of delayed healing in lobar pneumonia...
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who in his Arctic explorations often ate nothing but meat, last week completed in Manhattan a year's intensive meat-eating (no vegetables). Physicians of the Russell Sage Institute will report their findings in six months. Said Explorer Stefansson: "I feel perfectly fit, am wide awake, and am more aggressive. . . .
