A typical member of this group is common sugar, C H O ; another sugar has the formula C H O . Starch is again a typical carbohydrate, and its formula is C H O , or some multiple of this.
Each food-stuff, therefore, serves a distinct purpose, and some of them render services which the others cannot perform. A man will die if either water or mineral matter or protein is completely withdrawn from his diet. Fat or carbohydrate, on the other hand, or even both of them, may be excluded for some time without causing serious inconvenience.
She reared upon the dune a dark green parasol with a white border, and patted sand around the curved handle until it was, as she thought, firmly placed. Then she settled her skirts comfortably and opened her book, for the first time. "It looks bad," she mused. "Wonder what a carbohydrate is. And proteids where do you buy 'em? Albuminoids I've been from Maine to Florida and have never seen any.
The animal cell can absorb its carbohydrate and proteid food only in the form of carbohydrate and proteid; it is dependent, in fact, on the pre-existence of these organic substances, themselves the products of living matter, and in this respect the animal is essentially a parasite on existing animal and plant life.
Why are proteids called nitrogenous foods and fats and carbohydrates non-nitrogenous foods? Show why life cannot be carried on without proteids; without water. What per cents of proteid, fat, and carbohydrate are found in wheat flour, oatmeal, rice, butter, potatoes, round beef, eggs, and peanuts?
Carbohydrate starvation is inexcusable with our present understanding of the danger from acideinia, and even from a diminished amount of alkalies in the blood. The cause of pericarditis being so varied, any anti-toxin treatment or any vaccine treatment could be indicated only if the cause of the inflammation rendered the serum or vaccine advisable.

All of those used as food to any great extent are starch and certain kinds of sugar. *Starch* is the carbohydrate of greatest importance as a food, and it is also the one found in the greatest abundance.
However, fats and carbohydrates differ in the forms in which they supply energy, the former producing it in the most concentrated form and the latter in the most economical form. So that the term carbohydrate may be clearly understood and firmly fixed in the mind, it is deemed advisable to discuss briefly the composition of the body and the food that enters it.
*B.H. Chamberlain. "Rice, which is mainly carbohydrate, is transformed into grape-sugar by the action of the saliva. This practice is still common in China and used to be so in Japan where it is now rarely met with. It was employed only until dentition was complete." "To what we should call education, whether mental or physical, there is absolutely no reference made in the histories.
Even then the prospective mother requires less energy- giving food than the average man. Since the body handles carbohydrate more readily than fat, it is preferable that whatever additional energy pregnancy necessitates should be supplied by carbohydrates. An increase in the daily consumption of fatty food, over and above that previously found agreeable, is not only unnecessary but undesirable.
