New Expanded 8th edition with new photos and text.

An epic study demonstrating the importance of whole food nutrition, and the degeneration and destruction that comes from a diet of processed foods.

For nearly 10 years, Weston Price and his wife traveled around the world in search of the secret to health. Instead of looking at people afflicted with disease symptoms, this highly-respected dentist and dental researcher chose to focus on healthy individuals, and challenged himself to understand how they achieved such amazing health. Dr. Price traveled to hundreds of cities in a total of 14 different countries in his search to find healthy people. He investigated some of the most remote areas in the world. He observed perfect dental arches, minimal tooth decay, high immunity to tuberculosis and overall excellent health in those groups of people who ate their indigenous foods. He found when these people were introduced to modernized foods, such as white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable oils and canned goods, signs of degeneration quickly became quite evident. Dental caries, deformed jaw structures, crooked teeth, arthritis and a low immunity to tuberculosis became rampant amongst them. Dr. Price documented this ancestral wisdom including hundreds of photos in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.

Mr. Simon A. Hailes

Dated but enjoyable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2013

Verified Purchase

Firstly. Thanks to the reviewer of the other edition of this book, which is cheaper but has about 5 missing chapters, which influenced me to buy this more expensive but fuller edition.
It is written in a really easy to read non-scientific style, which is good for me.
It has a chapter devoted to each of the 14 primitive people groups, comparing the health of those on the primitive diet to those on the western style diet. Followed by chapters on general dietary principles (5 of which are missing in the other edition).
I already hold to the theory he puts forth, through reading more modern alternative diet books, so he has nothing to sell me there but I am glad I finally got round to getting this great grandady of such research. It is invaluable because the world of such people living purely on their primitive diet has all but vanished and the will to pursue such studies is distinctly non PC. The China Study, for example, did not include native groups living on traditional diets. They would have skewed the data too much, I guess.
This is a bit dated as you will see when you see young Africans with nutritionally caused, facial abnormalities compared to chimpanzees and a picture of 2 children running round on all fours like monkeys. There is no malice however. Merely an observation.
Obviously it's not completely scientific, but when you see every group living off traditional high fat/protein/cholesteral food with less than 1% tooth decay and low related physical degeneration (of which tooth decay is merely an outward indicator) and the same people and surrounding people living on typical western high sugar/refined carbs diet having around 30% tooth decay and high related physical degeneration; it should make at least some of the china study devotees think.
People have been moving further from Weston Prices ideal, on the advice of the medical industry and food manufacturers and getting less healthy.
Perhaps it's time for a return to the basic old fashioned traditional nutrition set forth in this book.
God blessee.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.

The book reveals important discoveries on health

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2021

Verified Purchase

The book tells about thorough and broad investigations on dental and overall health of primitive people throughout the world. The author carried his researches almost 100 years ago but their constant actuality remains. Nowadays the problem of influence of proper nutrition on health is even more crucial than earlier. This is a foundamental work, rich in fotographs, indispensable source of knowledge for those who need to study in diets basics.

Best book all categories

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2012

Verified Purchase

This is the best book all categories that I have ever had the joy to read (I have two university degrees and read for a hobby so I have read a lot of books). I can not recommend this book enough. If you are interested in feeling strong and to live long then this is the book for you. Combine it with Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook That Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats to get to learn how to actually cook all that tasty and nutritious food that Dr. Price is talking about. It has done wonders to my family already, practically curing my son's severe skin allergies just by following a diet based on Dr. Price's research findings.

Note: this edition contains some very important chapters that have been dropped from some later editions.

Buy the version published by Price Pottenger not Benediction Classics which has only 21 Chapters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I originally bought the version published by Benediction Classics which has only 411 pages of 21 Chapters, my fault for being stingy. So I ended up also buying the Price Pottenger version 528 pages 31 Chapters as I did not know what information I was missing. The book was fascinating and an essential read to see how the "modern" way of feeding ourselves and not looking after the land means we are depriving our bodies of essential minerals and fat-soluble activators . This was know about in the 1930s we are less physically well than our great-grand parents and "Primitive" people are being decimated by modern food ie sugar, jam white bread etc.

This is the most important book I have

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Weston A Price was a dentist who traveled the world to study the insightful wisdom of various indigenous people across the world and discovered they had already realized the best nutritional practices for good health and longevity. After reading this book I started adding raw butter/ kerrys gold to my veg and my teeth feel like iron.
Today people are getting fatter not because of saturated fat.
