Biography
American nutritionist and biochemist, a crusader for 40 years for good diet and nutrition with her four books since 1974, "Let's Cook It Right," "Let's Have Healthy Children," "Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit," and "Let's Get Well." The youngest of five farm kids, her mom died before Adelle was two. She worked her way through school earning a B.A. from the University of California in 1927 and a Science Degree in Biochemistry at USC in 1939.
Davis married in 1943 for ten years and in 1960, married Frank Seiglinger, a retired CPA: they adopted two kids, in 1950 and 1964.
With her lifetime emphasis on good health, Davis was shocked when told that she had cancer of the bone marrow, and felt deeply that she had failed in her life's work. In spite of chemotherapy, she lived barely a year after the diagnosis was made, and died at her home in Palos Verdes Estates, CA. on 5/31/1974.
