According
to Edward Smith 5401.2 grains of bread contain 1 ounce of flesh-formers.
He who wishes to lead a life of chastity, honesty, meekness, and mercy,
should consume daily one ounce of flesh-formers in his diet. As an
ounce of nitrogenous matter contains 70 grains of nitrogen, one should
take such food as yields only 70 grains of azote.
Murder, theft, robbery, cruelty, covetousness, lust, slander, anger,
voluptuousness, revenge, lying, prostitution, and envy are sins which
arise from a consumption of a large quantity of aliments containing a
higher percentage of azote.
He who intends to be free from every earthly thought, desire and passion
should abstain from fish, flesh, woman, and wine, and live upon the most
innocent food.
The following table shows approximately the quantities of various
aliments furnishing 70 grains of nitrogen:
Wheat dried in vacuo ............ 3181.81 grains
Oats ............................ 3181.81 "
Barley .......................... 3465.34 "
Indian corn ..................... 3500 "
Rye dried .
