not more than ten per cent 10 of moisture and leavening

Diabetic Pood Although most foods may be suitable
under certain conditions for the use of persons suffering from
diabetes the term diabetic as applied to food indicates a
considerable lessening of the carbohydrates found in ordinary
products of the same class and this belief is fostered by many
manufacturers on their labels and in their advertising litera
ture
A diabetic food contains not more than half as much
glycogenic carbohydrates as the normal food of the same
class Any statement on the label which gives theimpression
that any single food in unlimited quantity is suitable for the
diabetic patient is false and misleading
