Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
How Modern Diets Destroy Your Health
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and none of this should be misconstrued as medical advice. I am merely an inquisitive cartoon on the internet with a strong distrust in mainstream “health” authorities.
Weston A. Price was a dentist who spent years traveling between different native tribes to study the impact of diet on health.
Price used native populations who were still eating their traditional diets as control groups for those who adopted modern diets.
The pictures on the left are natives who ate their native/primal diets.
The natives on the right are those who adopted a modern or partially modern diet (white flour, processed sugar, etc.).
As a dentist, he used dental carries and facial structure to compare the two groups.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves (captions on each one as well).
SWISS
GAELICS
ESKIMOS
NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS
MELASIANS
POLYNESIANS
Consider the possibility that modern food advice is incredibly off the mark.
Primal diet > modern one.
Great overview of this massively important piece of nutrition science. If the mainstream dietetics/nutrition curriculum was based on this work the medical system would have orders of magnitude fewer patients.
Great representation of dental health correlating to declining diet standards.
It's unfortunate that the reduced mineral content in western soils & vacant nutrition in present-day crops isn't something that's a consistently mentioned in current events news.
