Why Modern Food Destroys Teeth

Book: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price.This extensive research by Dr. Weston A. Price documents a global investigation into the relationship between modern nutrition and physical degeneration. By studying isolated indigenous groups—including Swiss villagers, Eskimos, Native Americans, and African tribes—the author demonstrates that traditional diets provide superior immunity to tooth decay and skeletal deformities. The text reveals that when these populations adopt processed foods like white flour and sugar, the subsequent generation suffers from narrowed dental arches, crowded teeth, and increased disease susceptibility. Beyond oral health, the findings link nutritional deficiencies to personality disturbances, lowered intelligence, and maternal reproductive difficulties. Ultimately, the work advocates for the preservation of soil fertility and the reintegration of nutrient-dense whole foods to forestall the decline of modern civilization.
