Dr. Weston A. Price DDS
Ds. Price was a Cleveland dentist, who has been called the
"Charles Darwin" of Nutrition. Searching for the causes of
dental decay and physical degeneration he observed daily
in his dental practice, he turned from test tubes and
microscopes to study "people with fine teeth" - the
isolated "primitives".
Traveling worldwide, Dr. Price found that beautiful, straight
teeth, freedom from decay, stalwart bodies, resistance to
disease, and fine characters were typical of primitives on
their traditional diets.
These primitives stand forth in sharp contrast to those
subsiding on the "impoverished foods of civilization" - sugar,
white flour, pasteurized milk, and convenience foods filled
with extenders and additives.
His worldwide findings clearly showed that dental caries and
deformed dental arches, resulting in crowded, crooked teeth
and unattractive appearance, were merely a sign of physical
degeneration, resulting from what he had suspected -
nutritional deficiencies.
Dt. Price's classic volume, Nutrition and Physical
Degeneration, is available from the Price-Pottenger
Nutrition Foundation at www.ppnf.org. Its photographs
illustrate in an unforgettable way the physical
degeneration that occurs when human groups abandon
nourishing traditional diets in favor of modern
convenience foods.
