- Title
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGY PUPILS IN THEIR STUDY OF THE RELATION OF FOOD TO PHYSICAL WELL-BEING.
- Authors
Bingham, N. Eldred
- Abstract
The article discusses the teaching of nutrition in high school biology classes in the U.S. The author notes that the instruction commonly furnished in the said area tends to be academic rather than functional, and tends to ignore the newer findings concerning nutrition. Recent developments in the science of human nutrition are of such importance that they offer abundant rewards in human welfare. The present knowledge of nutrition and food values plainly show the avoidance of nutritional deficiencies and the attainment of higher levels of health. A prolonged lack of any essential food nutrients results in widespread disturbance of physical well-being.
