Dr. Weston A. Price's research on the human diet has stood the test of time, offering insight into the role that traditional diets play in overall health. Price correctly identified the detrimental effects of "displacing foods of modern commerce," such as refined sugar, white flour, and processed oils, on dental health and physical development. He also highlighted the importance of fat-soluble vitamins, such as A, D, and what he termed "Activator X" (now known as vitamin K2), found abundantly in animal-based foods. However, modern research adds another layer to Price's conclusions: the importance of chewing harder, unprocessed foods to develop a healthy jaw and straight teeth. This blog explores how these two factors—diet and chewing—work together to ensure optimal health.

The impact of his message is significant and cannot be ignored.
Kennedy, known for his outspoken criticism of big pharma and big food, pointed out the pervasive influence these industries have over our health agencies. His frustration with how these industries dictate health policies and dietary guidelines resonated with many who are aware of the deep-rooted corruption within these sectors. The concern is that the pharmaceutical and medical industries are more interested in maintaining a steady stream of unhealthy patients rather than addressing the root causes of chronic diseases. This post will cover some of his concerns and discuss the possible solutions.
