A COMPARISON, UNDER ARCTIC SURVIVAL CONDITIONS, OF A PEMMICAN-TYPE MEAT BAR WITH AN ISOCALORIC RATION OF SUCROSE PLUS ELECTROLYTES.
The basis of current arctic survival ration is 'pemmican' or a meat bar composed of powdered lean meat mixed with fat. The present experiment compares, under survival conditions, metabolic changes in men fasting completely, men receiving sucrose and electrolyte supplements, and men receivi...
