---- Interests: Nutrition
Weston A. Price Foundation founded in 1999 its purpose is to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
Weston A Price Foundation report to Congress on Dietary Health Guideline changes in 2005 (pdf 800k).
The below books support Weston A Prices findings and represent a new way of looking at diet and health. Instead of focusing on fat and cholesterol in designing a healthy diet these books debunk many of the nutrition myths today, tell how these myths came about and who profits from selling highly-processed real-food substitutes, the health impacts and an alternative way of living that doesn't support big-agribusiness.
