3 Foods that do not require the same digestive principles
should not be taken at the same meal
[Sidenote: "Fermentation" and "Putrefaction" compared]
Fermentation is the term generally applied to changes that take place in
such food substances as carbohydrates, due to the growth of bacteria,
while the term putrefaction is applied in a similar way to the changes
taking place in nitrogenous or proteid materials. Both of these chemical
changes are exceedingly harmful.
