The Alaskan Eskimo And The White Man'S Diet.
Description:
The Eskimo diet contains many foods rich in vitamins and other nutrients. Because of the impact of the white man's culture, the Eskimo dietary pattern has undergone many changes. New foods, largely carbohydrates, are replacing the traditional high-fat, high-protein foods. Along with this change has been a change in physical well being. Lowered resistance to diseases such as TB and dental decay constitutes serious public health problems.
