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.
