Dr. Weston A. Price
Much of the information in this newsletter is based on research done for the local Weston A. Price Foundation chapter in Madison, Wisconsin.
Dr. Weston Price (1870-1948) of Cleveland, Ohio, was a dentist who is considered to be a nutrition pioneer. Price spent nine years in the 1930s traveling to investigate the diets of traditional societies, and found that native diets contained ten times more fat-soluble and four times more water-soluble vitamins than did Western diets at that time. Price’s book, titled, Nutritional and Physical Degeneration, chronicles his journeys around the world.
