The majority of people use far more starch than bodies require. A small amount of starch can be converted by the body into a form of sugar which It can use In performing work and keeping warm, but an excess only produces fermentation, stomach acidity, biliousness and leads to such diseases as tonslli- tls, stomach trouble, skin eruption and liver disorders. It is not necessary for us to eat starch, as all ot. the elements which it contains can be found In the fruit sugers and proteins.

Some foods, such as navy beans, are such a bad mixture of starch and protein in themselves that excess fermentation always occurs when they are- eaten.

Thot with strong digestive power will be able to withstand the such a mixture for a long time, but it is bound to react upon them eventually and finally product serious consequences. The best way, then, Is to use only one kind of starchy food at a time and use it In combination with the different non-starchy vegetables, both In the and raw form.
