By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: In this stunning assessment of the widespread yet unacknowledged malnourishment of America, Dr. Lee describes in detail the health effects of eating processed foods as well as the difference between natural and synthetic vitamins. "We have drifted into this deplorable position of national malnutrition quite inadvertently," he adds. "It is the result of scientific research with the objective of finding the best ways to create foods that are non-perishable that can be made by mass production methods...and distributed so cheaply that they can sweep all local competition from the market. Then, after there develops a suspicion that these 'foods' are inadequate to support life, modern advertising science steps in to propagandize the people into believing that there is nothing wrong with them, that they are products of scientific research intended to afford a food that is the last word in nutritive value." Also included is the infamous advertisement in the Journal of American Medical Association promoting white bread, the result of a financial arrangement between the American Medical Association and the American Institute of Baking. From a lecture delivered to the American Naprapathic Association Convention. Reprint 30, 1943.
