by Dr. Francis Pottenger
Dr. Francis Pottenger's experiments with cats in the mid-20th century have stood the test of time as some of the most important health research ever carried out. Dr. Pottenger fed several groups of cats controlled diets that ranged from completely cooked, processed, and devitalized, to raw, fresh, and nutrent-dense. Charting the cats development over several generations was extremely instructive, and led to conclusions about cats that were very similar to those that Dr. Price drew regarding humans, nutrition, and physical degeneration. Like Dr. Price, Dr. Pottenger was not afraid to boldly interpret his findings and apply them to our modern society. In fact, Pottenger's Cats contains 44 pages devoted to his cat studies, while over 67 pages relate to the subject of human nutrition. Pottenger explores the benefits of raw milk to human skeletal development, the importance of breast feeding to facial development, the health benefits of saturated fats, and the false relationship between cholesterol-rich foods and high cholesterol levels - (remember, this was over half a century ago!). Pottenger's Cats is truly a remarkable work and both complements and deepens the research of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration in many important ways. 123 pages, softcover
