Nutrition Information…Who Can You Trust?

The internet is full of information on nutrition.  Some is good.  Some not so good.  When you add in all the info. on TV, radio and newspaper, it can get overwhelming.  Its hard to know who to trust.

My favorite resource is the Price/Pottenger Nutritional Institute.  Found at www.ppnf.org.

I like them because they have been around a long time, their approach is fairly simple and the research done today is confirming what Dr. Price and Dr. Pottenger were advocating over 50 years ago.

Dr. Weston Price was a dentist.  He traveled the world studying different groups of people in order to find out what the healthiest people ate.  He found that people that had no cavities, no arthritis, good bone structures and good longevity ate pretty much the same things.  They ate meat (some of it raw), vegetables, fruit, nuts, sprouted whole grains and raw dairy products.  As soon as a culture started eating refined grains, sugar, cooked dairy and overcooked meat, they began to fall apart.  Literally.  He observed cavities, birth defects, arthritis and weak immune systems as a result of bad diet.

He predicted that due to the way we eat, America as a nation would not only become very sick physically, but also mentally and morally.  Well… all you have to do is look at what has happened to America over the last 50 years and you will see that he was correct.

Dr. Pottenger was a neurological researcher who did a lot of work with cats.  He found that he could induce many types of diseases by feeding the cats diets that were missing key nutrients. Without key nutrients, the cats DNA would become damaged.  So, the cats would pass these diseases along to their off-spring.

He believed that humans did the same thing when they ate bad diets.  But, the good news was that he found that if he switched the cats back to healthy diets, the DNA would repair itself.  These findings were confirmed by studies done at the University of Wisconsin some 50 years later.

The principles these two doctors believed in are what guides the Price-Pottenger Nutritional Foundation today.  On their web-site you can find all kinds of different information and books to help guide you on your way to eating healthy.  I use their principles and they work very well.  Trust me.
