And It'g Newer Adulterated, So Columbia
Man Telia Master Brewer' Convention
Prof. Charles Frederick Chandler is the
ranking Professor of Chemistry at Columbia
University, New York City, the largest
University in the world.
"Beer," said Prof. Chandler, "is a bever
age prepared from barley, water, hops and
yeast. Beer is food. American beer con
tains 6 per cent, solid food, only 3 to 4 per
cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is
real brain food. Beer and bread are both
made from cereals; bread with water and
is solid; beer with more water and is
liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable
and readily digested food. Both contain
alcohol. Beer is not Intoxicating in ordin
ary quantities and beer is one of the foods
that is free from bacteria. It is appetiz
ing and aids digestion. I have had some
experience with beer and have been a con
sumer. I have enjoyed most perfect health
and I guess I am a pretty good specimen
of the food value of beer.
"I don't believe there is any beer made
in the United States that is what you call
adulterated. It may be misbranded, but
not adulterated. If the prohibitionists
drive beer from the household they will
deprive a large part of the population of a
wholesome article of food. There you have
reasons enough why beer has become our
national beverage.'
