The Weston A. Price Foundation’s list of dietary dangers is:

2. Avoid all refined sweeteners such as sugar, dextrose, glucose and high fructose corn syrup.

3. Avoid white flour, white flour products and white rice.

5. Avoid all vegetable oils made from soy, corn, safflower, canola or cottonseed.

6. Do not use polyunsaturated oils for cooking, sauteing or baking.

7. Avoid fried foods.
