Metabolic typing history and evolution.

Metabolic typing exists because humans, like all animals are subject to natural
selection. The theory of natural selection states that animals (including humans) which adapt best to the land before them grow strong and are more likely to reproduce. Therefore they will pass on these
characteristics to the next generation which over many generations leads to differences between individuals.

Humans are greatly different from each other. This includes nutritional needs, physical abilities, mental skills and more. In the west we have taken a view that all humans are the same and pursued a one size fits all approach to health.

Metabolic typing takes the opposite stance to this. The theory took its first steps in the 1920’s when a dentist, Dr Weston a Price traveled the world to chart the nutrition, health and lifestyle of the different ethnic tribes around the world. He compared the effect of western food compared to their traditional food.

He found that the there was a large variance in types of diet eaten. He saw the Eskimos ate a diet of almost exclusively protein and oil, from seal, fish etc. Opposite to this were tribal groups in South America who had an almost meat free diet. The two groups, and many in between these extremes had no cancer, heart disease, mental illness, very little tooth decay and were what could be said to be ‘in very good health’. When subjected to western foods these groups would succumb to the same degenerative conditions prevalent in the west today. He went on to conclude that people had evolved to live off the foods before them through natural succession.
