Nutrition History (from Parts Unknown)

On Episode 10 of Nutrition History from Parts Unknown, we’re dishing out three stories on the early history of protein and its role in the nutritional sciences of the 19th century. The first of these stories delves into the French Gelatin Controversy of the 1830s. Next up we’re talking on a Justis von Liebig and his Extract of Meat, and we’ll finish up with a history of the confrontation between vegetarianism and the meat-centred dietetics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
