Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Product Information

Truth: In Third World countries, soybeans replace traditional crops and transfer the value added of processing from the local population to multinational corporations. Truth: During the period of rapid increase in heart disease (1920-1960), American consumption of animal fats declined but consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically ( USDA-HNIS). Truth: Vitamin B12 is not absorbed from plant sources. Modern soy products actually increase the body’s need for B12 ( Soybeans: Chemistry & Technology Vol 1 1972). Truth: Children on lowfat diets suffer from growth problems, failure to thrive and learning disabilities ( Am J Dis Child 1989 May;143(5):537-42). Use only traditional vegetable oils—extra virgin olive oil, expeller-expressed sesame oil, small amounts of expeller-expressed flax oil, and the tropical oils—coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil.

Truth: The all-cause death rate is higher in individuals with cholesterol levels lower than 180 mg/dl (Circulation 1992 86:3). Contrary to the accepted view, which is not scientifically based, saturated fats do not clog arteries or cause heart disease. In fact, the preferred food for the heart is saturated fat; and saturated fats lower a substance called Lp(a), which is a very accurate marker for proneness to heart disease.The world became his laboratory. As he traveled, his findings led him to the belief that dental caries and deformed dental arches resulting in crowded, crooked teeth and unattractive appearance were merely a sign of physical degeneration, resulting from what he had suspected-nutritional deficiencies. It is important to keep in mind that silver nitrate will not penetrate appreciably into tooth enamel after the tooth has been erupted for a year or more, in a normal mouth with normal saliva and high immunity to dental caries, though it will penetrate an appreciable distance in a recently extracted tooth in the same mouth. This experiment is easily made with impacted third molars, in which silver nitrate will often penetrate a millimeter into the enamel. The Foundation seeks to establish a laboratory to test nutrient content of foods, particularly butter produced under various conditions; to conduct research into the “X” Factor, discovered by Dr. Price; and to determine the effects of traditional preparation methods on nutrient content and availability in whole foods.

Able…poor able, shuffles Up, sorta sad …thinking how can I beat ole Cain! So, father..I’m sorta at a loss here, I have this lamb here, but I gotta tell you, it,s yours already! Thing is. Father I was unable to bring you anything because Everything is yours already!.”? The following nutrient-rich traditional fats have nourished healthy population groups for thousands of years:Primitive and traditional diets have a high content of food enzymes and beneficial bacteria from lactofermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, dairy products, meats and condiments. Truth: The International Atherosclerosis Project found that vegetarians had just as much atherosclerosis as meat eaters (Laboratory Investigations 1968 18:498). Modern research completely validates the findings of Dr. Price. We now know that vitamin A is vital for mineral and protein metabolism, the prevention of birth defects, the optimum development of infants and children, protection against infection, the production of stress and sex hormones, thyroid function, and healthy eyes, skin and bones. Vitamin A is depleted by stress, infection, fever, heavy exercise, exposure to pesticides and industrial chemicals, and excess protein consumption (hence our warnings against the consumption of excess protein in the form of lean meat, lowfat milk and protein powders.)

Avoid artificial food additives, especially MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and aspartame, which are neurotoxins. Most soups, sauce and broth mixes and most commercial condiments contain MSG, even if not indicated on the label. Include enzyme-rich lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages and condiments in your diet on a regular basis.Avoid mercury (amalgam) fillings. If you have amalgam fillings, have them removed by a holistic dentist who specializes in mercury filling replacement. Fish liver oils such as cod liver oil (preferable to fish oils, which do not provide fat-soluble vitamins, can cause an overdose of unsaturated fatty acids and usually come from farmed fish.) Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30 percent to 80 percent of calories but only about 4 percent of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, legumes, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
