Combinations of foods similar to those consumed by human beings were fed to albino rats to determine the significance of the use of enriched flour in the diets. The results indicate that when 62% of the total calories were furnished by flour, the animals with enriched flour in the diet gained on the average 17 gm more during a 9-week growth period than did those on diets containing non-enriched flour. When 50% of the total calories were furnished by flour, the animals with enriched flour in the diet gained an average of 10 gm more than those receiving non-enriched flour. Even when salt mixture was added to increase the calcium content of the diet, or vitaminfree casein was added to increase the protein, or when both of these were added to the same diets, the rats receiving the enriched flour made the greater gains. The second generation animals showed a wider variation, as those fed enriched flour gained on the average 20 gm more than those with non-enriched flour in the diet. |
