The main reason that the primitive people can keep their teeth in such a splendid form is the food they are eating is rich in all sorts of vitamins and minerals. If you are interested in learning more about the connection between diet and health - this is a classic. When taken in aggregate, one cannot help but be in awe of what he accomplished, a series of undertakings which come across as heroic and superhuman to this mortal. What modern technology does not recognize is that many primitive societies have knowledge that have been passed on from millenia in which to base their vital health.

No way, he focused on the incontrovertible results of dietary regimens, such as whether or not they supported the proper development of the dental arches (as opposed to causing crowded, crooked teeth or problems with one's bite), whether the diet conferred resistance to dental infection (or left one susceptible to the ravages of dental caries), and various other direct and significant measures of health and vitality.

Over and over again he found that no matter what the race, the isolated people who were eating their traditional nutrient-dense foods had excellent dental and overall health, whereas members of the same race who instead ate processed foods had poor dental and overall heath. Not only were these native, primitive tribes incredible healthy, he also noticed many other things that he didn't expect.His observations and clinical studies are documented in this book, and if you choose to read it, it will open your eyes.
