We imagine that farming improved the food supply, but the quality of the food declined. Local FileWeston Price was a dentist from the USA. He noticed the decline in the teeth of Americans during his dental practice and on retirement travelled the world looking for example of people with good teeth, jaw structure and posture. He found many such groups. People with wide faces, teeth all aligned, and no dental decay. He wrote this book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.

Amazon Books write: "First published in 1939, this seminal book startled the worlds of science and nutrition with its documented evidence of primitive populations encountering civilisation, adopting modern diets, and finding that their health worsened. It remains the basic book in this area and is essential reading for those concerned with food and health." WWW LinkThe Gutenberg version of the book is available here.

But even more importantly there was no diabetes, heart disease, strokes, very little cancer, auto-immune diseases or neurological problems.

Here's a short quote from a review on Amazon: "Price also published many of his findings in respected peer-reviewed journals like JAMA and JADA during his lifetime. His genius was in consolidating information from many different cultures and examining what they had in common. Modern Western food habits have left a trail of destruction throughout the world, and it was painfully obvious to anyone observing a transition from traditional foods to industrially processed Western foods."
