Abstract

Rubner, in 1902 [1], published his observations on the influence of foodstuffs on metabolism. He had found that when 100 kcal (420 kJ) in the form of meat were ingested by a dog the heat production was increased by 30 kcal (126 kJ) over the resting state, and when 100 kcal (420 kJ) were given as cane sugar, the increase was only 5.8 kcal (24.4 kJ). When Rubner [2] gave an animal moderate quantities of food he found that the energy value of 100 g of fat was equivalent to 232 g of starch, 234 g of cane sugar or 256 g of glucose. Thus Rubner demonstrated not only that the energy output after a meal increased, depending on the type of food constituent, but also that not all dietary carbohydrates had the same energy equivalence when metabolised.
