Thanks for the link.

I have a healthy respect for any research, whether it be by Weston, the ADA, or even the infamous PCRM. I try to be aware of potential conflicts of interest, but will also make every effort to judge assertions based on their own respective merits.

Even if I disagree with an organizations views in one area, it doesn't necessarily mean I will find the research they do in another area without value. Even with the PCRM's infamous hidden agenda, I've found some of their work actually worthwhile to peruse.

I'm sure the same will be the case for Westonprice.

Kind regards,

Frederick

Thanks for all the links, by the way, Black57. I read a few articles on there about Vitamin A and D.

Unfortunately, my eyes were starting to glaze over when I got to Chris Masterjohn's "Vitamin A on Trial" article - and his writing is a bit over my head anyway.

Can anyone tell me more about Vitamin A and D interactions? I've heard people say that Vitamin A inhibits D absorption, but he doesn't seem to address that directly. He does say that it's important to maintain a good ratio of A to D, which might not happen if you're just taking Vitamin A supplements, or if you live in a far northern climate and eat a lot of fish. But as I said, my eyes were glazing over and maybe I missed something.

The site also seems to imply that all the arctic explorers who got sick from eating polar bear liver recovered fully when they stopped eating it. I thought a vegan friend told me they died. Does anyone know?

Their dietary model is post-agricultural because it includes grains and dairy. Fallon, I think it was, launched a diatribe against Loren Cordain, the author of The Paleo Diet because he says Paleo man didn't eat grains.

There are things in Cordain's book I disagree with too but that review sounds like someone protecting an income stream.

Yeah, I read that review. This is funny:



I guess it makes more sense that a dilettante dentist tried to to do the same?

Capmikee, here is another thread regarding the vitamin D experiement. It has been going on for over a year. You might find some answers to your questions here. Maybe someone there knows.

Yeah, I keep seeing that but there's so much to read that I skipped over it. Maybe sometime...
