Talk by Theodore Gillman
Professor of Physiology,
University of Natal, Durban
Professor Gillman examines the nature of chronic malnutrition as distinct from specific deficiency diseases. He believes that the distinction is often misunderstood, and the prospect of relief on so large a scale made remote by the fact (first revealed by his own research) that the addition of nutrients to inadequate diets of single staple foods can actually precipitate disease.
