When Your Dentist Discovers a Global Health Crisis

A 1930s Cleveland dentist noticed something alarming: his patients' children were developing crooked teeth, narrow faces, and chronic health problems their parents never had. What began as a dental mystery became a decade-long odyssey around the world. Dr. Weston Price traveled from Swiss Alpine valleys to Arctic fishing villages, from Pacific islands to African plains, armed with a camera and scientific curiosity. What he found was startling-wherever people ate their ancestral foods, they enjoyed near-perfect teeth, strong bodies, and freedom from diseases ravaging industrialized nations. But when these same communities adopted white flour, sugar, and canned goods, their health collapsed within a single generation. Their children's faces literally changed shape, dental arches narrowed, and the diseases of civilization arrived with shocking speed.
