Diets
of the Past - Can We Learn Something?
We've
got to go back in time to find out how to be healthy! Yes that's right.
We've documented many articles that show you diets of the past are
actually healthier than today's. |
More than sixty years ago, a Cleveland dentist named Weston A. Price decided
to embark on a series of unique investigations that would engage his
attention and energies for the next ten years. Price was disturbed by what
he found when he looked into the mouths of his patients. He found rampant
decay, often accompanied by serious problems elsewhere in the body such as
arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, intestinal complaints and chronic
fatigue. But it was the dentition of younger patients that gave him most
cause for concern. He observed that crowded, crooked teeth were becoming
more and more common, along with what Price called “facial
deformities”--overbites, narrowed faces, underdevelopment of the nose, lack
of well-defined cheekbones and pinched nostrils. Such children invariably
suffered from one or more complaints that sound all too familiar to mothers
of the 1990s: frequent infections, allergies, anemia, asthma, poor vision,
lack of coordination, fatigue and behavioral problems. Price did not believe
that such “physical degeneration” was God’s plan for mankind. He was rather
inclined to believe that the creator intended physical perfection for all
human beings, and that children should grow up free of ailments.

Thousands of years ago, physicians employed surprisingly sophisticated
healing techniques. Now scientists from around the world are unearthing-and
validating-many of those life-extending medical secrets.

Of all the peoples visited by Weston Price during his historic research
expeditions of the 1930s, none elicited as much awe as the Australian
Aborigines, whom he described as “a living museum preserved from the dawn of
animal life on the earth.”
Low-fat diets, claim the pundits of medical orthodoxy, have been associated
with good health and longevity throughout the globe and since the dawn of
time. The research of Weston Price proves otherwise.
Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures
fragile milk proteins, alters vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, kills beneficial
bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased
tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis,
arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Calves fed pasteurized milk die before
maturity. Is this enough to convince you that plain milk isn't nutritious?
Read all about it.
In order to believe that our society has “progressed,” we must believe first
that the lives of our ancestors were indeed nasty, brutish and short. But,
as study after study has confirmed, the health of traditional peoples was
vastly superior to that of modern industrial man.

Throughout his studies of isolated populations on native diets, Dr. Weston
Price was continually struck by the contrast of native sturdiness and good
health with the degeneration found in the local white populace, living off
the displacing foods of modern commerce such as sugar, white flour, canned
foods and condensed milk. Africa also afforded Dr. Price the opportunity to
compare primitive groups composed largely of meat eaters, with those that
were mostly vegetarian.
The Mediterranean diet “is characterized by abundant plant foods (fruit,
vegetables, breads, other forms of cereals, beans, nuts and seeds), fresh
fruit as the typical daily dessert, olive oil as the principal source of
fat, dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt) and fish and poultry
consumed in low to moderate amounts, zero to four eggs consumed weekly, red
meat consumed in low amounts, and wine consumed in low to moderate amounts,
normally with meals.
Can fifty thousand years of human evolution be wrong? What are we really
"designed" to eat? Are high carbohydrate "Food Pyramid" diet standards a
health disaster? What do
paleolithic fossil records and ethnographic studies of 180
hunter/gatherer groups around the world suggest as the ideal human diet?

interview with paleolithic diet expert, Professor Loren Cordain, Ph.D.
