Dissapointing, March 31, 2005

Reviewer: " Mike " (Australia) - See all my reviews

I am a great admirer of Dr Weston Price, but feel this book distorts

that great man's message, even though the author is president of a

foundation named in his favour and this book is inspired by his

research.

In particular the most egregious flaws in this book is that it gives

too much emphasis on the undesirability of pasteurized milk (which Dr

Price himself never had a problem with).

The book also fails to give enough weight to the evils of sugar,

processed food and vitamin/mineral deficiencies causing serious

physical and mental problems in modern societies as well as the

pre-natal damage Dr Price found so alarming.

On the other hand it give far too mch empahsis to esoteric

idiosyncracies like fermented foods and drinks, coconut oil, cod liver

oil and so called " super foods " like bees pollen.

In my view, skip this book and read Dr Price's original and timeless

classic " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration " .
