>  Ms Fallon  is the author of "Nourishing 
> Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges 
> Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet 
> Dictocrats".  This well-researched, 
> thought-provoking guide to traditional foods 
> contains a startling message:  Animal fats and 
> cholesterol are not villains but vital factors 
> in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper 
> function of the brain and nervous system, 
> protection from disease and optimum energy 
> levels.
>
> Sally's lifelong interest in the subject of 
> nutrition began in the early 1970s when she read 
> Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. 
> Price.  Called the "Charles Darwin of 
> Nutrition," Price traveled the world over 
> studying healthy primitive populations and their 
> diets.  The unforgettable photographs contained 
> in his book document the beautiful facial 
> structure and superb physiques of isolated 
> groups consuming only whole, natural foods.
>
> Price noted that all of these diets contained a 
> source of good quality animal fat, which 
> provided numerous factors necessary for the full 
> expression of our genetic potential and optimum 
> health.  Mrs. Fallon applied the principles of 
> the Price research to the feeding of her own 
> children, and proved for herself that a diet 
> rich in animal fats, and containing the 
> protective factors in old fashioned foodstuffs 
> like cod liver oil, liver and eggs, make for 
> sturdy cheerful children with a high immunity to 
> illness
>
> Now is its second edition, Nourishing Traditions 
> has stimulated the public health and medical 
> communities to take a new look at the importance 
> of traditional foods and preparation techniques, 
> and to reexamine the many myths about saturated 
> fats and cholesterol.  The book places special 
> emphasis on the feeding of babies and children 
> to ensure optimal development during their 
> crucial growing years.

> Mrs. Fallon and  her colleague Dr. Enig are

> articles include "Tripping Lightly Down the 
> Prostaglandin Pathways," "Dem Bones-Do High 
> Protein Diets Cause Osteoporosis?" "Vitamin A

> Better" and "A Campaign for Real Milk."  "Soy 
> Products for Dairy Products?-Not So Fast," an
