Scientists generated an algorithm for predicting individualized response to food based on the person’s lifestyle, medical background, and the composition and function of his or her microbiome.

As the late Dr. John Whitman Ray noted:
'Most people are in a hurry to get better, so they can
get back to whatever made them sick in the first place.'"[11]

Comment: The real "future of nutrition in America" will be found in the lifestyles of truly free individuals who have expansive thinking that includes all of life as integral to their daily life. This expansive thinking is one that considers the future generations and the extent that whatever nutrition may come through food depends on the nutrition of animals, plants and soil and all the forces of life that support these forms.

Some number of years ago (maybe two decades) I imagined highly individualized dietary choices offered to people based on a readout of the individual's biochemistry in that moment. It appears that we are not too far away from seeing that actualized now!
The need for personalized dietary recommendations has been affirmed in the largest study of its kind.[1]

The "future of nutrition" needs to be a return to the kind of traditional nourishing wisdom that produced "excellent health" just as Weston Price observed among "those groups of people who ate their indigenous foods".[2] These groups typically were without doctors or dentists as they were not needed!
Among other factors "the huge transformation of the traditional or indigenous diet entailed the switch from strongly flavored, nutrient-dense perennial and wild vegetables to the tamer, sweeter, less nutritious annuals that we mostly eat today."[4]
“If the foods not good the medicine is worthless and if the food is good the medicine is worthless”.[3]

"To make new cells, the body must have raw materials (nutrition) and sufficient cellular energy to use the materials. If any of these are lacking, pharmaceuticals and/or surgeries will not help.
The body has the ability to heal itself of many ailments if it is supplied with sound nutrition and proper cellular energy.
Alternative medicine doctors, in a vain attempt to identify the underlying cause of these overwhelming symptoms, turn to expensive lab tests and dig into the minutia of genetic mutations, hair tissue mineral analysis, hormone testing, amino acid analysis, and vitamin and mineral blood tests. Most testing is not reproducible, inaccurate, confusing and leads to recommendations for ineffective and expensive supplementation while ignoring the basic needs of the body for good mineral nutrition, gentle detox, and a diet that supports perfect health."[5]

September 1, 2017 - Weston A. Price - Medical Anthropologist
“(Weston) Price was the first research director for the American Dental Association, and after 25 years of laboratory and clinical research he became a medical anthropologist and documented the consistent effects all over the globe of the nutritional transition from traditional diets to diets based on modern, industrialized foods.”[6]
“You should read the work of Weston Price. He was a medical anthropologist in the 1920s that examined many indigenous groups across the globe. He found that those with good bone structure and facial symmetry ate a diet rich in fat soluble vitamins (A, E, D, K). These societies did not eat processed and refined grains and sugar.”[7]
“Chef JEM also introduced me to the teachings of Weston Price. As a medical anthropologist and dentist, Price was shocked to see rampant decay in the mouths of his patients time and time again. Price set out around the world where he documented people's teeth and discovered some amazing western colonization via the pallet that (processed and refined food ie. sugar) was disfiguring the faces and teeth of children leading to all sorts of disease and ailments.
In contrast the parents of these children who had traditional diets made up of all the non-processed foods had perfect jaw lines and teeth. There is a lot more to that story, however, being back in Cambodia, I noticed quiet the same.
Everywhere I have traveled into the ‘developing world’ I have seen Coca-Cola and Pepsi, refrigerators, signs on houses, painted on the sides of rural huts houses, even in very remote places, all given for free by the good grace of the CO. These channels of pushing products along with 7 Eleven who distributes Dole Fruit Co. products in plastic wrapping, and a bunch of other GMO food that hold a true history of hegemony of economic and social influence around the world. People replacing traditional diets with processed food, refined sugar, and achieving those foods are held as a luxury.”[8]
“Regular oral consumption of clay has long been a practice of native cultures, some of whom were found by medical anthropologist Weston Price to always carry portable bags of it on their person, considering it invaluable to their well-being. When Price investigated further, he found that it was blended with water into a thick fluid, then used for dipping foods into immediately prior to consumption, rather like a sauce.”[9]
“The eponymous Price (1870–1948) was an American dentist turned medical anthropologist. Convinced that endemic tooth decay in the industrialized West pointed to widespread physical changes induced by alarming modern forms of malnutrition and ignored by twentieth-century medicine, he traveled to many corners of the globe for corroborating evidence. Raw milk—though unmentioned in his 1939 work Nutrition and Physical Degeneration—is the Price Foundation’s core cause.”[10]
