... UNCHAPTER 3 ...
If the Gospels were talking about baked bread...
As a matter of fact, the Gospels talk about bread. Without specifying the baking. In such a case the mystery is simply solved. Spinoza himself seems to be embarrassed in having to reveal it to us.
On October 4, 1951, Spinoza reminds us, the English chemist Harold Pinter (future Nobel Prize in kinetic pharmacology) synthesized a limited-growth biological molecular expansor, which he called factor G (for growth). This factor, in contact with, for instance, millet seeds would create a semisolid, self-polymerizing mold big as a fist, slightly sweet in taste, lightly filamentous, hard on the outside, softer inside.
Experiments on guinea pigs showed that the mold was harmless (at least in terms of total half-life, and taking into consideration a number of two hundred guinea pigs and six months of feeding). But in December of ’53 Doctors Jenkins and Jacobs (of the London Royal Society Academy of Medicine) showed that factor G, in large doses, could cause primary hepatic neoplasias and irreversible damage to the parenchymal glands of endocrine pancreas (for which reason they advised against its consumption).
