Dr. Weston A. Price (1870-1948) was a dentist whose goal was to discover the factors responsible for good dental health. He was a nutrition pioneer. His worldwide research revealed a direct correlation between beautiful, straight teeth, free from decay (as well as good health and resistance to disease) and traditional diets rich in nutrient dense whole foods and fat-soluble vitamins.
The Weston A. Price Foundation headquartered in Washington D.C. was founded to disseminate Dr. Price’s research and is dedicated to restoring “nutrient dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism” through accurate nutrition labeling and instruction, organic farming, pasture feeding of livestock, community supported farms, universal access to certified raw milk and the ban of soy-based infant formulas.
