Most importantly, each child received one teaspoon of a mixture of high-vitamin cod liver oil and high-vitamin butter oil. The meal consisted of marrow stew with meat and vegetables, fish stew or organ meats cooked fruit with very little sweetening rolls made of freshly ground wheat and spread with high-vitamin butter and two glasses of fresh whole milk.
Price and his researchers provided the children with one meal per day at school. Their diets usually consisted of “highly sweetened coffee and white bread, vegetable fat, pancakes made of white flour and eaten with syrup and doughnuts fried in vegetable fat.”ĭr. In Chapter 22, Price describes a Depression-era study involving school children of mill workers suffering from rampant tooth decay and many other health problems. Today we know that activator X is vitamin K2, MK-4, the animal form of vitamin K. In studies with humans and poultry, he found that giving cod liver oil alone was not as effective in promoting growth and recovery from bone loss or tooth decay as the combination of what he called “high-vitamin natural cod liver oil (a source of vitamins A and D)” and “high-vitamin butter oil (a source of vitamin A and activator X).” He made the butter oil by centrifuging slightly heated butter to separate it into an oil and hard portion-the vitamins concentrated in the oil.
