The Weston A. Price Foundation

[Second Summer]

I thought it would be worth having a discussion about The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), since they have many followers, and their "information" continues to spread.

From Wikipedia:

The foundation has been criticized by Joel Fuhrman and the FDA for "purveying misleading information" and "failing to update their recommendations in light of contradictory evidence".[2][3]

More than 50 years after Weston Price's death, food activists Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig founded the Weston A. Price Foundation in their words to “disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price....Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.”

From QuackWatch.org (Stephen Barrett, M.D.):

Price knew that when primitive people were exposed to "modern" civilization they developed dental trouble and higher rates of various diseases, but he failed to realize why. Most were used to "feast or famine" eating. When large amounts of sweets were suddenly made available, they overindulged. Ignorant of the value of balancing their diets, they also ingested too much fatty and salty food. Their problems were not caused by eating "civilized" food but by abusing it. In addition to dietary excesses, the increased disease rates were due to: (a) exposure to unfamiliar germs, to which they were not resistant; (b) the drastic change in their way of life as they gave up strenuous physical activities such as hunting; and (c) alcohol abuse.

Stay Away from "Holistic" and "Biological" Dentists

Anyone else want to share their favourite quotes about the WAPF, or about the Dentist himself?
