http://schema.org/description

  • "This book reviews the long-standing debate over the relative merits of a high-protein versus a low-protein diet. When protein (or "animal substance") was first discovered in vegetable foods, it was hailed as the only true nutritional principle. Justus Liebig, the leading German chemist of the mid-nineteenth century, believed that it provided the sole source of energy for muscular contraction. In contrast, health reformers argued that high intakes were overstimulating, leading to dissipation and decline. U.S. government publications in the 1890s recommended that working men receive 125 grams of protein per day, but work at Yale indicated that men maintained their strength on half that intake."
