Food-stuffs have been divided into heat-producers and ti ue-formers - the amyloids and fats constituting the former division, the proteids the latter. But this is a very misleading cla ification, inasmuch as it implies on the velop heat, and on the other that the amyloids and fats, as they oxidize, subserve only the production of heat. Proteids are ti ue-formers, inasmuch as no ti ue can be produced without them; but they are also heat-producers, not only directly, but because, as we have seen,. they are competent to give rise to amyloids by chemical metamorphosis within the body.
