What reading level is Winning the Fight Against Drink book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What does it avail that a little al- cohol burns in the body if, in burning, the mischief it does exceeds the nourishment it furnishes? One may no more speak of the 180 THE SCIENTIFIC STATUS nutritive effects of alcohol than of arsenic or other toxic substances. ' ' Professor At- water says, "If we define food as that which yields energy, alcohol is food, but it is a very one-sided food. " Is not this a " one- sided " definition, and would not such a defi- nition admit carbolic acid to the list... of foods, for it can be oxidized in the body and yield energy? If this definition had gone further and said that any substance which builds tis- sue or yields energy without doing any harm to the body is a food which is a scientific definition alcohol would be excluded from the list.
If one wants to see how a "scientific" man can wriggle to make a special plea for alcohol, let him examine this remarkable sup- position, "If we exclude from the list of foods those things that are either injurious to health or tend to become so, we must ex- clude alcohol, in excess, but we must do the same thing with meat.
