5 Very brief comments about Kellogg are in Whorton, James C., Crusaders for Fitness, the History of American Health Reformers (Princeton, 1982) and more extensively in Numbers, Ronald, Prophetess of Health: A Study of Ellen G. White (New York, 1976). The only full biography of Kellogg, Richard Schwarz, John Harvey Kellogg (Nashville, 1970) is described by Whorton as “overly reverential.”Google Scholar
