Interrelationship of the human intestinal flora and protein utilization

Abstract

In conclusion, I have tried to present an appraisal of the present state of knowledge in this field. Whether this is interpreted as indicating that nutrition is an imprecise science or a fascinating but complex multidiscipline depends upon one's point of view. Certainly in the evaluation of diets there are still many problems to be solved, but to quote Professor Platt, who initiated much of the work, 'the ability to ask the right questions is three parts of the way to solving them'.
