Then, too, there are more uses for food than the production of heat.
Teeth and bones and nails need a constant supply of mineral matter,
and mineral matter is frequently found in greatest abundance in foods
of low fuel value, such as lettuce, watercress, etc., though
practically all foods yield at least a small mineral constituent. When
fuel values alone are considered, fruits have a low value, but because
of the flavor they impart to other foods, and because of the healthful
influence they exercise in digestion, they cannot be excluded from the
diet.
