Health Value of Jell-O

From a 1926 recipe booklet:

Scientific experiments have now proved that Jell-O is a body-building, energizing food of real value - and a food that requires very little digestive effort. Think how important this is! So many desserts tax digestion severely; but the important nourishment that Jell-O contains is given to the body quickly, easily and completely. A Jell-O dessert is not merely a delicacy. It is a real benefit to health.
