by the action of the stomach and the gastric juice, into another kind of
pulp called _chyme_. The chyme is changed by the bile and another kind of
juice, called _pancreatic_ _juice_; these separate the nourishing from the
waste substance. The nourishing, milk-like substance is called _chyle_. The
waste substance passes from the body. The chyle is poured into a vein
behind the collar bone, and passes through the heart to the lungs, where it
is changed into blood.

"EAT TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO EAT."
There is pleasure in eating, because God has given us the sense of taste,
that we may enjoy our food. But not everything which pleases this sense is
good for the body, so we should learn what things are wholesome and choose
them for our food and drink, refusing everything which is unwholesome.
Those who obey these rules "_eat to live_" and never become drunka
