Weston A. Price, DDS (d. 1948) pioneered study of correlation between diet, dental decay and physical degeneration. After observing patients in his American dental practice he investigated the diets of indigenous peoples with excellent teeth, particularly Gaelic Outer Hebrides peoples, Eskimos and Native Americans, Melanesian
and Polynesian South Sea Islanders, Australian Aboriginal, and New Zealand Maori communities, and documented correlation between poor nutrition, non-indigenous diets and dental caries, deformed dental arches, crowded, crooked teeth, and physical degeneration. “Wherever he went, Dr. Price found that beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay, stalwart bodies, resistance to disease and fine characters were typical of native peoples on their traditional diets, rich in essential food factors.” (The Weston A. Price Foundation, https:// www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/nutrition- greats/weston-a-price-dds/ accessed November 15, 2018.)
