Bread is no longer slow poison. This momentous reversal of the teachings of U.S. dieticians has been made by Columbia's Professor Henry Clapp Sherman, dean of U.S. nutritionists, who for years has warred against bread as the No. 1 staple of the American diet. In countless articles on nutrition Professor Sherman has crusaded against our enemy, the wheat loaf, backing up his written views with pictures of laboratory rats who, when fed on white bread diet, lost their hair, teeth, whiskers, and eventually grew peaked and died...
Professor Sherman changed his mind in Modern Bread from the Viewpoint of Nutrition (MacMillan; $1.75), a 100-page book written together with Constance S. Pearson. But he claims that it is not he, but bread, that has recently changed. Modern bread, he says, made with plenty of milk and without removing the wheat germ from the flour, is very different from white bread. It is so different that white bread should have a different name, probably should not be called bread...
...lost when flour is refined to pure whiteness. As a result, only one-third of the food calories consumed in the U.S. now come from bread (only 19% in the families of professional men), compared with 40% in most of Europe, 53% in France. Modern bread, says Dr. Sherman, should bring the U.S. figure up to 40%. This means that two billion pounds would be added to the annual U.S. bread consumption...
...bread. Improved milling makes possible the inclusion of the wheat germ in the flour. This provides iron and two essential vitamins: thiamin (for a healthy nervous system) and niacin (to prevent pellagra). Such flour need not be "whole wheat," which includes the harsh outer coating of the kernel. Professor Sherman recommends the "longer-extraction" or "wholemeal" flour which discards the coating, but utilizes about 85% of the wheat kernel. It is the basis of the British "national loaf...
Solid Senders in Chicago. When traffic lights in Chicago's Loop flash red Saturday night, cars often line up for a solid block. At the Sherman Hotel, customers stand eight deep at the long Celtic Bar; downstairs in the Panther Room, where a normal New Year's crowd is 1,100, nearly 2,500 swing-loving youngsters cramp in to hear the solid-sending of Glenn Miller's band...
