Nutrition and Physical Degeneration - 6th Edition
Author: Weston A. Price, D.D.S.

Illustrated with more than 150 photographs. — At the end 20th century, the idea that the food we eat affects our physical structure for good or ill is almost universally accepted. Sixty years ago it wasn't, and the publication of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration rocked the worlds of science and nutrition with Dr. Price's irrefutable evidence a... more »nd documentation of this concept. Even today, this outstanding book remains the basic text and essential reading for anyone concerned with nutrition and disease prevention.

Circling the world in the 1920s and '30s, Dr. Price and his wife found the same sinister pattern amoung '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...An unequaled source of basic information.

"An absolutely basic book on nutrition and disease prevention, as relevant today as when first published, decades ahead of its time. "-Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.

Excerpt from chapter 1 of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Andrew Price:

In the following chapters, I have presented descriptions of certain peoples and ...have given a survey of the factors in the environment which have changed... The purpose is to glean data that will be applicable for use in correcting certain tragic expressions of our modern degeneration, including tooth decay, general physical degeneration, and facial and dental-arch deformities, and character changes. These data will be useful ... in establishing a higher resistance to infective diseases, and in reducing the number of prenatal deficiency injuries....

The data presented show the level of susceptibility to (tooth decay) in each isolated primitive group and, contrasted with that the level of susceptibility in the modernized natives of the same stock. ... These data reveal an average increase in susceptibility of thirty-five fold...

Certain preconceived ideas may have to be modified...for example...that what we see is due to heredity... If so, why should the last child in a large family generally suffer most...

The writer is fully aware that his message is not orthodox; but since our orthodox theories have not saved us, we may have to readjust them to bring them into harmony with Nature?s laws. Nature must be obeyed, not orthodoxy. ... Even the primitive races share our blights when they adopt our conception of nutrition...

Nature...indicate(s)...disaster for modernized groups who heed not the warning...
