"From comforting hypocras to a genuine 'liquid diet', this book traces the history of nourishing beverages from prehistoric times to the present day. Using original research on their preparation and consumption, the chapters focus on drinks and liquid foods which have all but disappeared in their original form, and place them in their social context." "Amongst the subjects examined are: prehistoric pottages and their strange ingredients, exotic sherbets, the last domestic brewhouse, the emergence of modern cider, the rituals accompanied by hot spiced ale, and surprising new evidence on the date wine distillation began. With early recipes, and a host of stimulating and not so stimulating beverages, Liquid Nourishment makes an important contribution to the history of food."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Created by Traditional Naturopath Leonard Mehlmauer (ND, ret.) in 1975, The GREAT Liquid Diet has been used to help many patients, friends, students, colleagues and family. The basic principle is "less is more!" By reducing the food processing work of the mouth, stomach and bowel, much bodily energy is freed up for purification. In health as in life, purification is the name of the game.Their high natural nutrient content make pure raw foods healthier than cooked. Cooking loses many nutrients. Raw or cooked, solid foods take much energy for mouth and stomach to break down--and the bowel to process. By blending the (mostly) raw GLD foods, we get the nutrients--while the blender and juicer do the chewing--saving MAJOR energy for the all-important purification! But the good stuff doesn't end there. Most of us don't eat all-raw--or even hi-raw (>80%). The GLD takes GMO, pesticides, and other modern dangers into account--a major part of its success. It gets better. Nearly 5 decades (since 1972) of clinical and personal work provides the practical, realistic details of how the GLD applies in your life (GLDLifestyle).After seeing literally hundreds of cases of chronic disease healed or helped, we know the power of the GLD to change lives for the better. Weight loss, pain removal, beating drugs, longevity, youthful appearance--mere side-effects of this simple, gentle and amazing purification program. Children, the elderly--virtually anyone can do the GLD. Are you ready? Welcome!

Data on the organoleptic acceptability of a liquid diet formula with a variety of flavors and two other diets composed of fresh foods was obtained from eight subjects during two, forty-two day experiments. An analysis of the acceptability ratings permits the following conclusions to be made: (a) Even when variety is limited, the acceptability of a fresh food diet is considerably higher than the acceptability of a liquid formula when given as the sole source of nutriment. (b) The bittersweet chocolate-flavored beverage was preferred over the other flavors. (c) Differences inherent among individuals cause statistically significant variation in food acceptability ratings. (d) Over an extended period of time, monotony may be overcome by incorporating a liquid formula into a diet composed primarily of solid foods. This approach merits further investigation. (Author).
