Does
Baking:
Contain
Alum ?
V
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Pcnn.J "All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re
gard the use of alum as highly injurious." '
Dr. Alonzo Clark: substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder."
Prof. W. (J. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: "I believe it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent ot food
articles."
Prof. S. W. fohnson, Yale College :
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan
gerous to health."
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
