About the author |
Discover the characteristics of traditional diets that kept your ancestors healthy and free from degenerative disease?
In this talk you will get an introduction to the principles of a traditional diet and the mind-body connection.
In brief, Dr Price was the Dentist who in the 1930's studied isolated groups of people living on a traditional diet and compared their health to those living on a westernised diet. Those people living on a traditional diet had less than 1% tooth decay, were in excellent health, gave birth with ease and consistently reproduced their racial form. Whereas those people of the same racial stock who ate a western diet suffered from rampant tooth decay and degenerative disease; the women often had complications in child birth and there was considerable deviation from the racial form in their children.
Even though Dr Price noted that the diet varied amongst different traditional groups, he observed that they all used similar principles to prepare their foods, and this is probably the most important difference between modern processing methods and those of traditional groups. In addition the low fat, high carbohydrate diet being promoted today is totally at odds with that of traditional groups. The shift away from a traditional diet is considered by many experts to be the main reason for the increasing rate of degenerative disease and obesity.

JACKET COVER INFORMATION
THE DEADLY DIET
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 vigour, and those that turned to the 'civilised' 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 unequalled source of basic information - a "must for anyone seriously interested in the effects of food on health."
