Sanctorius

A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition

Sanctorius ( Santorio Santorio, 1561–1636.) Italian physician, a pupil of Galileo at Padua; measured his own weight, weight of food consumed and urine and faeces produced, and attributed the difference to ‘insensible perspiration’, which we would now call metabolism leading to carbon dioxide production.
