Schmid, N.D. He summarizes some of Price's findings in pages 7 through 33 (1-2 pages dedicated to each society that Price studied). He also discusses other nutritional research that is supportive of traditional diets. Have you read the beginning of Nourishing Traditions, plus all of the sidebars? Lots of good stuff there as well. I agree that Price's book is a bit difficult. I read the whole thing and it's well worth the effort. An updated version would be a wonderful thing though.

I wish I had of had more teachers like this when I was studying Health Sciences at uni. There were a few, but most of them were just following the conventions of the modern health paradigm/s which I would describe as "kill or cure". Your students are very fortunate and I hope they realize it and make the most of the resource they have. And good on you for doing what you feel is right. I like your approach to teaching.
