I know the title sounds like a mouthful, but this is a great book! Dr. Weston Price was a dentist in the 1930's who wanted to study the teeth of indigenous peoples to see how diet would relate to their dental health. What he found was amazing!
Our nutritional intake determines our health- our bones, our blood, our skin, and our teeth. Dr. Price found that people who had a "primitive" diet had an amazing skeletal structure and virtually no cavities in their teeth. Though these cultures ate vastly different foods, they all had one thing in common- good health.
The best part about this book is how it is written. It's not like a medical textbook, but more like an anthropological journal. You get to read about their culture, some of their history, how they live day-to-day lives, and how they viewed and cultivated, or captured, food.
This book will open your eyes to the true meaning of nutrition. It's not found on a label on the side of some package at the grocery store. It's not written on a chart on the wall or drawn out on some plate or pyramid. It's found in real food!
