It is amazing that Dr. Price's research was started more than 80 years ago, yet it is probably the most relevant book that a person could read in regard to the current crisis over health care coverage in the US. Dr. Price points how the modern high-calorie, low nutrition diet has led to the creation of professional dentistry and orthodontia, due to it causing a significant increase in dental caries and malformed dental arches - problems that largely did not exist in the isolated peoples that he studied. He also shows us how the same flawed nutrition by either parent can lead to deformities and crippling diseases for their offspring - a scary thought with the increasingly nutritionless diets of today's youth. Today it is clear that this same diet is responsible for the explosion in the number of people with metabolic syndrome who are at risk for diabetes, heart disease and a host of other degenerative diseases as they reach the prime of their lives. Clearly what we eat is making us sick, so sick that our society clearly will not remain sustainable in the very near future. I can't think of a more worthwhile book to read to improve your life and the lives of future generations.
