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 Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.

     Topics include the health benefits of the traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil), dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption, easy-to-prepare enzyme-enriched condiments and beverages, and appropriate diets for babies and children.

     Sally Fallon is the founder of A Campaign for Real Milk (www.realmilk.com) and president of the Weston A. Price Foundation (www.westonaprice.org). She is the editor of the foundation's quarterly magazine, Wise Traditions in Food, Farming and the Healing Arts and has published articles in a number of alternative health publications, including Nexus Magazine, The World & I and The Townsend  Letter for Doctors and Patients. A resident of Washington D.C., she is the mother of four healthy children.

     Mary G. Enig, Ph.D., of Silver Spring, Maryland, is an expert of international renown in the field of human biochemistry and lipids.

     This fascinating and compelling book will change the way you think about milk. Dr. Schmid chronicles the role of milk in the rise of civilization and in early America, the distillery dairies, compulsory pasteurization and the politics of milk, traditional dairying cultures and the modern dairy industry.

     He details the betrayal of public trust by government health officials and dissects the modern myths concerning cholesterol, animal fats and heart disease. And in the final chapters, he describes how scores of eminent scientists have documented the superiority of raw milk and its myriad health benefits.

     "Raw milk is a movement whose time has come. This book will serve as a catalyst for that movement - a movement that could change the life of every individual who comes to fully understand the value of raw milk from healthy, grass-fed animals."
 - Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions and President of the Weston A. Price Foundation
