• catalog abstract "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. In the 1950s kwashiorkor, a disease of infants in many Third World countries, was judged to be the result of simple protein deficiency. The United Nations declared a world protein shortage. But the causes of kwashiorkor were reassessed, and projects to produce novel protein sources were eventually abandoned. Today there is again concern that overconsumption of protein in affluent societies may damage health. This book puts the protein controversy into a historical perspective that sheds light not only on the subject itself, but on the scientific process as well.".
