Price’s findings– The rest is him kind of interjecting with his thought. He brings up a variety of important ideas such as that Dr. Weston A. Price lived in an era where vitamins were all the rage. They didn’t consider consistency of the diet. They just focused on nutrients and he believes this was a mistake. Dr. mew also talks about sleep apnea and how it’s going to shorten people’s lifespans.
