Weston Price was a dentist and a quack. Even
his theories about dentistry were quackery:

Much of "holistic dentistry" is rooted in the activities of Weston A. Price,
D.D.S. (1870-1948), a dentist who maintained that sugar causes not only
tooth decay but physical, mental, moral, and social decay as well. Price
made a whirlwind tour of primitive areas, examined the natives
superficially, and jumped to simplistic conclusions. While extolling their
health, he ignored their short life expectancy and high rates of infant
mortality, endemic diseases, and malnutrition. While praising their diets
for not producing cavities, he ignored the fact that malnourished people
don't usually get many cavities.

Price knew that when primitive people were exposed to "modern" civilization
they developed dental trouble and higher rates of various diseases, but he
failed to realize why. Most were used to "feast or famine" eating. When
large amounts of sweets were suddenly made available, they overindulged.
Ignorant of the value of balancing their diets, they also ingested too much
fatty and salty food. Their problems were not caused by eating "civilized"
food but by abusing it. In addition to dietary excesses, the increased
disease rates were due to: (a) exposure to unfamiliar germs, to which they
were not resistant; (b) the drastic change in their way of life as they gave
up strenuous physical activities such as hunting; and (c) alcohol abuse.

Price also performed poorly designed studies that led him to conclude that
teeth treated with root canal therapy leaked bacteria or bacterial toxins
into the body, causing arthritis and many other diseases. This "focal
infection" theory led to needless extraction of millions of endodontically
treated teeth until well-designed studies, conducted during the 1930s,
demonstrated that the theory was not valid.

Why are you comparing a dentist turned want-to-be nutritionist from 80
or so years ago with some guy from PETA?  Where are you going with
this?  On second thought, never mind, I don't want to know... let me
out!

You're comparing two total whack jobs - like asking whether you want to
die by fire or ice - frankly I prefer to live. Come back to earth.
