"Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects"

BY Weston A. Price, MS., D.D.S., F.A.G.D.

Often times, we can be discouraged by the plague of eugenics. But just as Austrian Economists were predicting the great depression and preaching solutions, nutritionists and healthcare professionals were doing the same regarding diet after the turn of the century. They have been suppressed by the mainstream media up until now. I can't recommend this volume more. Published 1938, it is an anthropological study of natives, their diets and perfect health, observing how their bodies degenerated as western foods were introduced.

In the early 1930s, the Cleveland dentist named Weston A. Price (1870-1948) began a series of unique investigations. For over ten years, he traveled to isolated parts of the globe to study the health of populations untouched by western civilization. His goal was to discover the factors responsible for good dental health. His studies revealed that dental caries and deformed dental arches resulting in crowded, crooked teeth are the result of nutritional deficiencies, not inherited genetic defects.

When Dr. Price analyzed the foods used by isolated peoples he found that, in comparison to the American diet of his day, they provided at least FOUR times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and at least TEN times the fat-soluble vitamins, from animal foods such as butter, fish eggs, shellfish, organ meats, eggs and animal fats--the very cholesterol-rich foods now shunned by the American public as unhealthful.

Very interesting.  Tempted to buy the book.  So, this suggests that hereditary genetic traits can be managed with good nutrition.  Price's research proved that. However, looking a bit deeper into his work, he also suggests that the nutritional intake of the parents has a role in the gene quality of the offspring... which, means that there *is* a hereditary factor.

So, the nutrition of the parents dictates the genetic traits of the offspring.  Makes perfect sense.

Hi Aviana.

What Price concludes, is that genetics ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT RESPONSIBLE for degenerative disease. The nutrition of a parent affects the DEVELOPMENT, not the genetics of their children. As he says, natives have TEN TIMES the fat soluble vitamins of the average 1930's diet. Just imagine how that compares to today's poor diets. Now, toxicity is damaging our genes, but this is not our natural state. We are built to withstand degenerative disease.

Its not that nutrition deals with genetic defects, its that nutrition deals with issues caused by mal-nutrition that people blame on genetics.

But, malnutrition stops the genetic process from functioning properly. Some genetics tho, will make people more or less vulnerable to malnutrition, that I will concede.

Genetics does of course influence physical attributes, but degenerative diseases are something else.

Thanks for the explanation - that makes it a lot easier to absorb.  Will add the book to my Amazon wish list - I really need to understand this better.  As a Christian, I hear so much about "the blood", and seven generations for familial traits to pass.  There is also some relevance in blood type history, and conditions related to that.  I'm A rhesus neg, so was my mother.  I know that is almost a world away from "nutrition and physical degeneration", but it seems to all be part of a whole.

eta - well I would add it, except it's $95 for a used copy!
