Dr Price might well be called 'The Charles Darwin of Nutrition'." -The Laryngoscope, 1950.

Weston Price was a Canadian-born dentist. While practicing in the United States, he conducted research on indigenous cultures to find out why they were so healthy and had perfect children, completing a compendium of ancestral wisdom and ground-breaking work in nutrition. 

Weston Price, observed the dietary habits of several diverse cultures, including the isolated Lötscher in Switzerland in 1931, Native Americans, Polynesians, Pygmies, and Australian Aboriginals.  He saw that they had excellent teeth but, more than that, they enjoyed outstanding general health and vigour, and soon he was travelling the globe cataloguing indigenous people's diets and comparing the health of those who had maintained their ancestral diet and those who had starting consuming modern Western foods.

He observed that various diseases endemic to Western industrial societies of the 1920s and 1930s were rarely present in the indigenous populations he visited, but that as these groups abandoned their ancestral diet and adopted Western diets, they showed increases in typical Western diseases. He concluded that the modern Western diet, and, in particular, sugar, flour, and processed vegetable oils are responsible for these diseases and that Western methods of commercially preparing and storing foods stripped away vitamins and minerals necessary to prevent disease.  He published this now famous work in 1939. Travelling the world, observing and recording, like Darwin, he made a revolutionary discovery that is slowly percolating into medical science.

Initially, the medical and scientific communities vigorously rejected this controversial work as lacking scientific precision; nevertheless, research has confirmed his conclusions and modern medical orthodoxy is slowly accepting that lifestyle and diet are a major factor, perhaps the major factor, in the degenerative diseases that have beset the developed world. A plethora of health-promoting diets have sprung from his observations including Paleo, keto, primal blueprint and the ancestral diet movement.
