The photographs of "ideal" faces reminded me of the nasty final chapter of an old Nazi biology textbook I once saw, with its photos of ideal Aryans! Still, maybe this stuff will be popular with people who want their kids to be film stars, and convince them to read the rest. Once the author got on to nutrition proper, I found the book, which is well-referenced with recent research, more convincing. Like several other authors over the last 10 years or so, she neatly dismisses the prevailing ideology of "low-fat good, animal fat bad" which is still being trotted out by the government and food industry. A lot of similar information can be found in Sally Fallon's book "Nourishing Traditions" (essentially a recipe book) and the Weston-Price foundation website, and in "Trick and Treat" by Barry Groves. "Deep nutrition" completes the picture by looking in more depth at how what you eat affects not just you, but your children, and even grandchildren. I'm still not convinced that William is better looking than Harry just because he's got a big jaw! Review: Excellent, thorough and detailed - An excellent book giving a wealth of information about ancestral nutrition and the ways in which our foodstuffs have gradually deviated from that. This felt, however, like a book of two halves - one exploring our shared history and also intergenerational nutrution, one detailing the "four pillars" approach. And, although these clearly interlink, i'd have liked to have read more about how much can be helped or improved here and now, especially for those of us who have already reproduced and very much need to put things right. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 181,602 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 365 in Public Health & Preventive Medicine 602 in Weight Control Nutrition 1,594 in General Medical Issues Guides | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,154) | | Dimensions | 15.54 x 3.25 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1250113849 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1250113849 | | Item weight | 572 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | 29 May 2018 | | Publisher | Flatiron Books | ## Images ![Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91A34UhNgDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nutritional myth-buster for pushy parents *by I***T on 21 August 2011* In the first part of the book I was initially put off by the heavy emphasis on conventional beauty, and not entirely convinced by the concept of "second sibling syndrome" where the author tries to demonstrate how an oldest child grabs the best nutrition (and therefore looks and health) from its mother.

This felt, however, like a book of two halves - one exploring our shared history and also intergenerational nutrution, one detailing the "four pillars" approach. And, although these clearly interlink, i'd have liked to have read more about how much can be helped or improved here and now, especially for those of us who have already reproduced and very much need to put things right. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do please read this book! *by J***H on 27 January 2026* I haven't got very far in yet, but I already realise this is a very important book. If you genuinely care about your health, and that of your family, do please get a copy. I was blessed to get it cheaply, it is worth ten times what I paid for it. You may not be as lucky to get it at a similar price to me, but please get it anyway. You will be glad you did. The author is a well qualified professional, and that comes through. She also has a knack of writing in a way anyone can easily understand the importance of what she says. ## Frequently Bought Together - Deep Nutrition - Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back - Fatburn Fix --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66815430-deep-nutrition-why-your-genes-need-traditional-food](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66815430-deep-nutrition-why-your-genes-need-traditional-food) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
