How do we know what to eat?

We are bombarded with conflicting information about what constitutes a healthy diet. One day we are told something is good for us, then it is bad, then a few years later it is good again. Many western doctors and nutritionists, whom we often rely on for nutritional information, are just as misinformed as we are.

 

 

 

We know what to eat by finding proof that a way of eating works – for entire societies, for entire lifetimes.

   

Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist, found this proof in the 1930s when he traveled throughout the world, documenting over and over again that a traditional diet, without white sugar and flour and highly processed oils, produced healthy, happy people with virtually no chronic disease, mental problems, birth defects, or dental cavities or malformations. Dr. Price found that as long as people ate a balanced diet containing naturally produced, traditionally prepared foods, they were healthy. Today the Weston A. Price Foundation continues the work on showing people how to eat well.
