About PPNF

THE PRICE-POTTENGER NUTRITION FOUNDATION

The Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (PPNF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), educational organization dedicated to teaching the value of traditional diets for achieving optimal health in the modern world. Operating free from commercial interests, our memberships, publications, classes, lectures and reference libraries provide trustworthy, reliable information and training that enables you to take steps to lead a healthier, happier and more vital life.

PPNF is the steward for the works of Dr. Weston A. Price and Dr. Francis M. Pottenger, Jr., whose research provided scientific validation for traditional wisdom about nutrition, food production and healthy living. As advocates for Dr. Price and Dr. Pottenger's independent findings, PPNF seeks to promote adoption of traditional nutritional values in the 21st century.

MODERN vs. TRADITIONAL DIETS

Our current understanding of diet and nutrition has been warped through generations of corporate-sponsored false advertising and a glut of misleading information promoted by the media. Our diets are dominated by over-processed foods that have been raised using chemicals and hormones to make up for a lack of nutrients in soils and feed. Our food is produced on factory farms that focus on increased profits rather than real nutritional value.

As a result, people today suffer disease, lack energy and vitality and are subject to mental health problems and depression. All of these maladies can be linked directly to poor nutritional choices.

Traditional diets, on the other hand, are based on naturally-grown, nutritionally rich foods that are subject to minimal amounts of processing. These diets are naturally high in vitamins and minerals, and include unaltered proteins from sources such as nuts, cheeses and meats. Produce is grown in healthy soil without being contaminated by fertilizers and pesticides. Sweeteners - whether natural or artificial - are used sparingly.

Research shows that people enjoying such traditionally-based diets are generally healthier, more active and happier than their modern-diet counterparts.

PPNF's purpose is to teach you how to revitalize yourself - combat disease, lose weight, be more energetic - through better nutritional and lifestyle choices.
