The Nutritional Research of Dr Weston Price
It's astounding that more people,
green singles
especially, haven't heard of Dr Weston Price or his incredibly important research. Dr Price was originally a dentist who began seeing severe tooth decay among children in the 1920s when processed sugars were being consumed in record amounts.
He then launched a decade-long research phase in which he traveled all over the world studying indigenous tribes, from the Eskimos of Canada to the island tribes of the South Pacific, studying the role that traditional diets played in protecting them against diseases and physical malformations so commonly seen in the developed world.
His research demonstrated that an adherence to a traditional diet, with a heavy reliance on animal meat and fat, fermented foods and raw fruits and vegetables, united all these various tribes in a picture of health and vitality. He created programs to assimilate this knowledge into the Western diet, but his research was never given enough attention to really matter, despite its huge importance and relevance.
Please take a moment and read
this paper
by nutritionist Stephen Byrnes, which discusses Dr Price's research and findings. It should have a big impact on how you view your diet, and hopefully will spur you to change.
