Slimming Loaf

(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, June 20. A university department has played a major role in assisting a bakery firm to produce a loaf of bread which will help people to redupe weight The loaf will soon be on sale throughout Britain. It has taken the firm, and the university, two years of experiments to produce a loaf from soya wheat germ and milk protein instead of flour.

The research controller commented: “This is a marvellous break-through and we are now able to hand back the forbidden fruit to summers. This loaf—each ounce contains 64 calories —is double starch-reduced and has less than half the starch content in slimming rolls.”
