In the second edition of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Weston Price published data suggesting that fat-soluble vitamins from animal fats might protect against heart disease. Between 1928 and 1945, Price collected over twenty thousand samples of butterfat to analyze for fat-soluble vitamins, from many regions across the United States, northwestern Canada, Australia, Brazil and New Zealand. His data suggested that abundant sunshine, rainfall and high-quality soil led to an abundance of rapidly growing, lush, richly green grass, butterfat rich in fat-soluble vitamins, and fewer deaths from heart disease. Our understanding of heart disease has progressed immensely since Price’s time, and now more than ever we can be confident that Price’s emphasis on the protective power of fat-soluble vitamins was correct.
