More About This Book

Overview

Circling the world in the 1920s and '30s, Dr. Price and his wife found the same sinister pattern among "primitive" populations, whether isolated Irish fishermen, tribal Africans, Pacific Islanders, Eskimos, North and South American Indians or Australian Aborigines. Those groups that followed their traditional nature-based diets enjoyed good health and vigor, and those that turned to the "civilized" diet of processed, sugar-laden foods soon developed a variety of ills, including misshapen bones and teeth - and the situation worsened with each generation. Dr. Price's fascinating accounts of his discoveries, and the extensive photo documentation he provides, drive home the nutritional truths that are only now gaining general understanding, and Nutrition and Physical Degeneration remains an unequaled source of basic information.

    The BEST book on REAL indigenous food wisdom

    This is the best book I've read on nutrition and food wisdom. Based on the diets of real indigenous cultures whose people have few if no cavities or the 'incurable' diseases that afflict the western culture, it gives us real guidance to what our bodies are meant to eat. The pictures in this book speak for themselves! He shows pictures of indigenous cultures before being introduced to white man's poison (white flour & sugar, processed junk) and the generations born to those introduced to white man's 'food.' It is sad and heartbreaking to see what we have done to ourselves and these beautiful people. Every health practitioner, dental and medical students, EVERYONE needs to read this book!
