experiments h ad shown any real lm ers,

portant difference between butter fat cans W and other fats. It had, of course, h et been proved that fats of low melting how be

point were more digestible than fag(

those of a high melting -point. Aside ° Vg from this. there was thought to be '30 3 but little difference in their food you
