Weston A. Price warns against the following Dietary
Dangers:
- Do not eat commercially processed foods.
- Avoid all refined sweeteners such as sugar,
dextrose, high fructose corn syrup and fruit
juices.
- Avoid white flour, white flour products
and white rice.
- Avoid all refined vegetable oils made from
soy, corn, safflower, canola or cottonseed.
- Do not practice strict vegetarianism (veganism).
- Avoid pasteurized and ultra-pasteurized
milk.
- Avoid artificial food additives, especially
MSG. Most soups, sauce and broth mixes and
commercial condiments contain MSG, even if
not specifically labeled as such.
- Do not drink fluoridated water.
- Do not use a microwave oven*.
*Editor’s note: This is another surprising item for
many. However, German studies show that microwaving food changes
our blood count in several ways, including a significant increase
in white blood cells. This is an immune response that usually
means we are fighting an infection or inflammation. Because
of this, some researchers believe that our increasing use of
microwaves to heat and cook food may be associated with the
increase in autoimmune disorders.
The Weston A Price Foundation website has a
lot more information at www.westonaprice.org explaining
why they espouse the above guidelines, and exposing myths and
truths about nutrition that you don’t always read elsewhere.
They have also compiled a lot of research and other information
on the dangers of most soy products, for all people, but especially
for babies that are fed soy formula.
