Digestibility of Cheese Cheese is made easier of digestion by combining it with other foods. When eaten with bread, or other starchy food, such as .potatoes or macaroni, it forms one 'of the most satisfactory food combinations and one which will not be difficult of di- gestion for most people. If eaten at the end of a heavy meal, as is com- mon custom, it may tax the digestive organs, but if eaten as the main dish at a meal which is finished with a. light dessert, it is not likely to cause any digestive disturbance. When ns - ed in cooking, care should be taken that the cheese is not heated to too. high a temperature, as heat wilt toughen protein foods and make them; harder to digest. Cheese is very thor- oughly digested. It is all, or nearly all, used by the body to build new tissues and to provide energy for the body to do its work, and for older boys and girls, as well as adults, it is one of the best muscle builders.
