Historical or Biographical Note
Franklin Church Bing (1902-1988) was a food scientist, scholar, and historian. He was a leader in the
field of nutrition in the United States. During his career he was able to both further scientific research in
the field of nutrition and shape public policy. He also had wide-ranging scholarly interests outside the
field of nutrition including history, biography, prose and poetry.
Franklin Bing was born in 1902, in North Wales, Pennsylvania. He received his B.A. in from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1924. Then after studying under Lafayette B. Mendel, Bing received his
PhD in 1930 from Yale University. From 1929 to 1936 he was a faculty member of the Department of
Biochemistry at Western Reserve University. Bing left academia in 1936 to join the scientific staff of the
American Medical Association in Chicago, where he served as the Executive Secretary of the Council
on Foods until 1943. From 1943-1950 he was Director of the American Institute of Baking. He later
served as a Consultant to the Delaney Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1950-1952.
After this time Bing served as an independent consultant on food and drugs for both private industry and
government agencies.
Franklin Bing was also interested in the history of science, biography, and other literary pursuits. He
served as an Archivist at the American Institute of Nutrition in 1985. He authored several biographical
sketches of nutrition scientists. Also Bing was a contributor to the Chicago Literary Society, and he
published historical prose and more than forty poems.
