Nourishing Traditions
Nov. 12th, 2007 02:52 pmThis one comes recommended by my doctor. Complicated enough to think about that I've been putting off this review for weeks. But, finally, here it is.
Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Our modern diets, both the typical bad American diet and the USDA food pyramid diet, constitute a major change from the way humans have eaten over thousands of years. According to author Fallon, the change is not for the better. The book draws heavily on the work of 1930s dentist Weston A. Price, who traveled all over the world looking at native peoples and their diets and finding correlations between the diets of those peoples who were strong, healthy and didn’t get cavities or other dental problems.
