Happy Anniversary to the recognition of diet's role in disease prevention

[Guest guest]

And yet, after 93 years the message still hasn't gotten across.

 

Good morning,

I read the Wired.com website for my minimum daily req. of science news. Today

it noted the anniversary of Joseph Goldberg's studies recognizing the role of

diet in maintaining health.

Most of the information comes from an excellent PBS documentary which aired a

few years before I became raw, and had a lot to do with my openness to the raw

diet. In his experiments prisoners were fed 2 different diets and the effects

were so powerful that inmates on the " bad " diet preferred going back to prison

rather than continue. Inmates on the good diet suddenly became less aggressive.

 

The after-effects of the study were disappointing, especially the fact that

Goldberger died of cancer.

 

It seems that current popular prejudice still goes on the fantasy that what you

eat doesn't matter unless it's in a pill.
