Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
An epic study demonstrating the importance of whole food nutrition, and the degeneration and destruction that comes from a diet of processed foods.
For seven years in the 1930s American dentist Weston Price and his wife traveled around the world in search of the secret to health. Instead of looking at people already afflicted with disease, this highly respected scientist and researcher chose to focus on healthy individuals in order to understand how they achieved such amazing bodies. Investigating 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 natural foods from their environment - but discovered that when they were introduced to modernized foods, such as white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable oils and canned goods, signs of degeneration quickly became evident. Dental caries, deformed jaw structures, crooked teeth, arthritis and a low immunity to tuberculosis became rampant.
Dr. Price documented this ancestral wisdom, including hundreds of photos, in his seminal 1939 work Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
