Nutrition and Physical Degeneration (1939)
An
epic study demonstrating the importance of whole food nutrition, and
the degeneration and destruction that comes from a diet of processed
foods.
For nearly 10 years, Weston Price and his wife
traveled around the world in search of the secret to health. Instead of
looking at people afflicted with disease symptoms, this highly-respected
dentist and dental researcher chose to focus on healthy individuals,
and challenged himself to understand how they achieved such amazing
health.
Dr. Price traveled to hundreds of cities in a total of 14
different countries in his search to find healthy people. He
investigated some of the most remote areas in the world. He observed
perfect dental arches, minimal tooth decay, high immunity to
tuberculosis and overall excellent health in those groups of people who
ate their indigenous foods.
He found when these people were introduced
to modernized foods, such as white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable
oils and canned goods, signs of degeneration quickly became quite
evident. Dental caries, deformed jaw structures, crooked teeth,
arthritis and a low immunity to tuberculosis became rampant amongst
them. Dr. Price documented this ancestral wisdom including hundreds of
photos in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
