Summary: Dr. Brady was a medical doctor who wrote a popular syndicated newspaper column in the 1940s and 50s. In this article, he discusses the importance of the B complex vitamers—specifically thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), and niacinamide (B3)—in the metabolism of carbohydrates as well as to heart health. Vitamin B supplementation had been shown to reduce or eliminate the need for exogenous insulin in some diabetics, Brady notes, and the critical role of the B complex in the functioning of the heart had been revealed all the way back in the 1920s by the famous nutrition pioneer Sir Dr. Robert McCarrison. Astoundingly, modern medicine still fails to grasp the significance of Dr. McCarrison's findings. From the Waterloo Daily Courier, Iowa, 1947.
