Nutricide: The Nutritional Destruction of the Black Race

I was excited to receive this book yesterday. I believe there are some things that we just do not talk about that pertain to genetics and how we as human beings perform differently based on our genetic makeup. Think the difference in short twitch and long twitch muscles. I also believe food can heal, uplift and change the direction of a person's life so I was excited to get this book thinking it would not only give me helpful information regarding nutrition but also some interesting information on African genetics and food. It very well may since I am only 20 pages or so into it but I had to stop and write this review. There is probably great scientific information here concerning chemical compositions of things we call food and how they are harmful to the body but it is lost in the racist rhetoric of the writer. I was shocked to put it mildly. I have heard so much hateful divisive speech from caucasian writers usually in some manifesto after they have committed some heinous crime against the object of their unreasonable hatred. This is my first encounter with such writing by a black author. Before you ask I am African American and am, though late to the party, exploring my roots and realizing the scope of systemic racism in America and the world so I am not naive to the machinations of the ruling party but this ....was disturbing on a whole other level. We are better than this. Present your scientific data and let the reader come to their own moral conclusion. If I want to say something racially biased here I want to say that we, us, black people are better than this. I am trying to finish this because some of the information regarding the chemicals in our food is interesting and the knowledge is needed but it will be tough to get to this information swimming through a morass of hatred to get to it. You know what I hate the most about bigots? They say they are only loving their own kind. Well me loving my own does not equate me hating everybody else. At this time writing this I just feel dirty. Dirty and afraid that if I spend too much time reading this I might find some harm done to me on a spiritual level. I just wanted someone else to know before they spend their hard earned money that there is hate along with science in this book.

Was not expecting the things I've been learning since I started reading this book. The first couple of pages brought tears to my eyes because all of my parents are gone. Died from high blood pressure, Stokes, diabetes, cancer etc. Coming across this book at this time in my life is divine. I've been brought back to reality because the Great Dr. Llaila Afrika (may peace be upon him) does not sugar coat anything. He tells it as we need it. Straight up. Every Black Man and Woman needs to read this informative book. So much on the Afrikan way is taught within. Definitely a book to study and read several times

Best and most informative book on Truthful nutrition, not just food.......

This book is a gem. Dr. Africa gives a thorough break down of the mental psychosis displayed in Western society which is currently being displayed (and throughout history) in their treatment of African people, Mother Nature, animals, food, medical science, practically anything that exists outside of themselves. The books offers an explanation as to why western culture is destructive by nature, but most importantly it offers ways Africans can return to a holistic diet in order to return to our spiritually centered selves as well as combat the onslaught of filth and disease that our society throws our way.

This book holds nothing back. Straight to the point just how I like it

Enlightened reading experience thus far. Had to get use to the style of writing with the use of “Caucasian” so frequently. But it’s filled with great knowledge, years of research and love for our black culture.

Although the author expresses his anger about how African-Americans are being killed by their poor and unnatural diets, there's enoug good information in his bookm to help you navigate past his anger. Initially, the narrative just sounds like the rantings of an angry man, but as you read further, you see that he has made some accuate and excellent points. More importantly, this book is not just critical of a system the author considers terrible, but he offers viable solutions to remedy the conditions he describes.

You have to read this book with an open mind, definitely do your own research. I think every African descent individual or family should read this book.

This book was a blunt and harsh analysis of nutrition and associated lifestyle within the black communities (western world). Although it held back no punches (when it could have), most of what was said was true. The sensationalist style of writing made for quite a captivating read. Does contain very strong views, and hard-knock solutions!

Mind blowing. Things we simply don't know or think about. A seriously important book to read but important to take a constructive approach to it, to use wisely its information for the possible benefit of all.

Brilliant

Perfect book
