What reading level is Food in War Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Apparatus has been invented for measur- ing the heat production of a man, an apparatus which is called a calorimeter or a measurer of calories. If one puts a man weighing, say, 156 poimds in the box of such an apparatus, so that he lies comfortably on a bed in complete muscular relaxation, and before his break- fast, one finds that he produces 70 calories an hour.
Only in certain types of disease is there any variation from this normal, though of course the weight of the man makes a difference ...in his requirement for energy.
If, at the same time the subject is in the box, the quan- tity of oxygen which he absorbs is measured and if cer- tain other chemical analyses be carried out, one can calculate the exact amoimts of protein, fat, and sugar which have been oxidized by this oxygen. Now, if one calculates how much heat ought to have been set free from the oxidation of these quantities of protein fat and carbohydrate, it is discovered that the heat which ought to have been produced is exactly that quantity which was measured as having been produced by the man.
