Sylvester Graham

My name is Sylvester Graham and I am an American dietary reformer. I am the 17th child of John Graham. I entered Amherst College in 1823 but did not graduate.

I was hated through media and was literary besieged by bakers and butchers for my anti-commercial stance on bread #hatersgonnahate #APTUSH

My ideas are so great that they have a name. They called my ideas "Grahamites" #TooCoolForSchool #famous #APTUSH

Have a balanced life. Wear loose-fitting clothing, take cold baths, have three meals, no snacks, exercise and relax #LivingTheDream #APTUSH

Industrialized bread had the nutrient-rich layer of bran removed and unhealthy ingredients added to whiten flour. #unhealthy #fake #APTUSH

My work with bread is peculiar. Read all about it on a book I wrote in 1837 called Treatise on Bread and Bread-Making #bestbread #APTUSH

A great diet should exclude meat, condiments, coffee and tea, and focus instead on fresh fruits and vegetables. #healthyliving #APTUSH

@tynertheteacher I tried vegetarianism and abstinence, my health improved after adopting such practices. I suggest this diet to all #APTUSH

"Excessive sexual urges will result in diseases. They can be avoided by a healthy vegetarian diet."

"Alcohol has a good use in medicine but should never be used a social event"

@tynertheteacher I was perfecting my recepie. Being healthy will save you from Alcoholism and also sexual urges. #APTUSH #noalcohol #nourges

Bread should be baked in such a way that it will... require and secure a full exercise of the teeth in mastication.
