Food Nutrient Testing

[Guest guest]

In Weston Price's book " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration " he mentions testing

food samples for nutrient content. Can anyone recommend a testing lab that will

perform this type of nutrient analysis? I'm looking at starting up a consumer

reporting agency (similar to Consumer Reports) that tests our food supply and

ranks food from various sources based on actual nutrition. I think each city

should have one of these. Thoughts on how to proceed?

Brad, I think that's an exciting and very worthy idea! I've been trying to

track down an accurate source for nutrition facts for traditional foods -- all

the foods we eat that don't come with labels and that are a far cry from

conventional SAD foods. I'm searching for this info to add to a nutrition

analysis software program that's required for the degree I'm getting in holistic

nutrition and that is used by holistic nutrition professionals.

I hope you succeed! This is SO needed.

Good luck.

This is a recurring issue. It's possible that the USDA has charts of

nutrient content -- I've seen comparisons from mid 1920's, 40-50's later

decades showing decline in nutrients even 40 years ago. Agreed, FW is

frustrating because it emphasizes processed foods. KL
