Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most amazing books on health I have ever read! Complete with pictures and documentation of various native races and the deterioration of their teeth, face, and bone structure when they went from their "native" diets and switched to "white man's" food. That is, mainly "white" flour, and "white" sugar (as well as other processed food). From this book I learned that these foods alter bone structure in ways not imaginable! Not only ruining the health of natives but destroying their magnificent and perfect teeth, thinning their skulls (and I thought I was a hardhead) and destroying their heritable bone lines within one generation!If one examines his teeth, one can see the influence of eating these foods. You can even see the devastation in family and friends. Obviously, "enriched" flour still doesn't cut it as WHOLE foods have the right PROPORTIONS of vitamins and minerals. I have since quit eating "health" sugars such as turbinado (it's not whole sugar) and have switched to Rapadura(TM), (it's whole sugar) and avoid white flour and nearly anything processed. This book really explains why we get cavities. We don't need to flouridate the water. There are many other things that Price mentions in his book of the devastation of modern diet too numerous to mention here but important.
Though this book was written in the 1930's it is remarkable how it seems to read like a modern day diet book, sometimes, as it mentions osteoporosis, heart disease and other supposedly "modern" ailments.
Summary of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
First published in 1939, this seminal book startled the worlds of science and nutrition with its documented evidence of primitive populations encountering civilisation, adopting modern diets, and finding that their health worsened. It remains the basic book in this area and is essential reading for those concerned with food and health.Nutrition Books
