Weston A Price

[Green Squall]

Is anyone familiar with his work? His theories about health and diet are fascinating. In 1939, he published Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, detailing his global travels studying the diets and nutrition of various cultures. The book concludes that aspects of a modern western diet (particularly flour, sugar, and modern processed vegetable fats) cause nutritional deficiencies that are a cause of many dental issues and health problems. The dental issues he observed include the proper development of the facial structure (to avoid overcrowding of the teeth) in addition to dental cavities. This work received mixed reviews, and continues to be cited today by proponents of many different theories, including controversial dental and nutritional theories.

I was especially interested in how the Native Americans ate.

W Price helped me get into a high fat, low carb, organic Paleo Diet and I've never felt better. It's about the opposite of what we've been taught is healthy (low fat, high carb) here in the west.
In just one generation native peoples have dental and health problems after adopting a western diet. Best to eat the way we evolved to eat imo.
