Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
The Diet Dictocrats don't want you to know that... Your body
needs old-fashioned animal fats New-fangled polyunsaturated oils
can be bad for you Modern whole grain products can cause health
problems Traditional sauces promote digestion and assimilation
Modern food processing denatures our foods but Ancient
preservation methods actually increase nutrients in fruits, nuts
vegetables, meats and milk products!
At last a successful challenge to Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet
Dictocrats! Recalling the culinary customs of our ancestors, and looking ahead
to a future of robust good health for young and old, Nourishing Traditions offers
modern families a fascinating guide to wise food choices and proper preparation
techniques. Sally Fallon unites the wisdom of the ancients with the latest independent
and accurate scientific research in over 700 delicious recipes that will please both
exacting gourmets and busy parents.

This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling
message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary
for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease
and optimum energy levels.
Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide
to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.
Nourishing Traditions will tell you:
- Why your body needs old fashioned animal fats
- Why butter is a health food
- How high-cholesterol diets promote good health
- How saturated fats protect the heart
- How rich sauces help you digest and assimilate your food
- Why grains and legumes need special preparation to provide optimum benefits
- About enzyme-enhanced food and beverages that can provide increased energy and vitality
- Why high-fiber, lowfat diets can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including
butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern
soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of
whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare
enzyme enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for
babies and children.
Pretty much sums it up right here...
"I was seeing references to this book in other books that I found helpful:
The Metabolic Typing Diet and Life Without Bread. But I delayed more
than a year before buying Nourishing Traditions. I figured if I knew
what to eat, I didn't need a cookbook too.
I was wrong. This is a textbook as much as a cookbook. I liken it to Joy of
Cooking. You can learn a lot from it about food and nutrition even if you never
use its recipes. I have used recipes from both, though, and can attest to their
deliciousness. But I must admit, for me the best thing about reading Nourishing
Traditions is learning about nutrition, not learning new recipes.
The authors criticize the "Diet Dictocrats" who propound the "politically correct" low-fat,
low-cholesterol diet. I find the epithet of "politically correct" rather grating and would hope
they drop it in later editions.
The book's thesis is a Rousseauian one: industrial food production yields a product
unsuited to our body's nature. To find out what is suited to our nature, we ought to
rely on research of what preindustrial societies consumed. Thus, as another reviewer
pointed out, they view themselves as continuators of the program initiated by the
dentist Weston Price (author of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration).
I had spent years eating in accordance with the low-fat dietary dogma and my
health suffered because of it. I give the authors credit for recognizing a wide
spectrum of ideal diets depending on one's genetic makeup. What is more
problematic is how one draws the line between natural and unnatural. Is the
line to be drawn between industrial and nonindustrial societies, or is it more
basic than that? The book NeanderThin, for example sees humanity making a
wrong turn with the advent of civilization. Civilization brings cultivation of
grain and the domestication of dairy animals. Nourishing Traditions embraces
dairy and grain as long as they are prepared in ways consistent with nonindustrial
societies.
Despite these controversies, Nourishing Traditions is a treasure trove of valuable
information. Just one small tidbit: there is a concern that beef in the USA has an
unfavorable fat profile--there is an unsatisfactory omega 6/omega 3 fatty acid ratio.
I just learned from Nourishing Traditions that this problem is not present with lamb in
the USA because lamb is virtually all pasture-raised. Since I live in a small apartment
and have no place to hang a side of pasture-fed beef, this was very helpful information.
OK, OK, one more tidbit. Everyone by now should know that people who eat
nuts live longer. I love the taste of nuts but they always were hard for
me to digest. Nourishing Traditions explains why and told me how to eat
nuts without the digestive upset. These people know their stuff.
I've seen five stars on a lot of books, that were, frankly, pretty
lightweight. This book is a keeper. It's not someone's brilliant
marketing concept turned into a book. It's clearly the product of much,
much, hard work. It's not the final word. But it's a comprehensive
presentation of a coherent worldview on healthy nutrition.
Nutrition And Physical Degeneration

Traditions book are based around.

An epic study demonstrating the importance of whole food nutrition, and
the degeneration and destruction that comes from a diet of processed
foods.
For nearly 10 years, Weston Price and his wife traveled around the world in search
of the secret to health. Instead of looking at people afflicted with disease symptoms,
this highly-respected dentist and dental researcher chose to focus on healthy individuals,
and challenged himself to understand how they achieved such amazing health.
Dr. Price traveled to hundreds of cities in a total of 14 different countries in his search to
find healthy people. He investigated some of the most remote areas in the world. He observed
perfect dental arches, minimal tooth decay, high immunity to tuberculosis and overall excellent
health in those groups of people who ate their indigenous foods. He found when these people
were introduced to modernized foods, such as white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable
oils and canned goods, signs of degeneration quickly became quite evident. Dental cavities,
deformed jaw structures, crooked teeth, arthritis and a low immunity to tuberculosis became
rampant amongst them. Dr. Price documented this ancestral wisdom including hundreds of
photos in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
