A Life Changing Book!, May 24 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Drugs Masquerading as Foods: Deliciously Killing American-Afrikans and All Peoples (Paperback)
I turned to this book after more than 2 years of constant pain and illness that none of my doctors could diagnose or cure. Desperate for help, I bought this book and tried most of the author's recommendations. I stopped eating white flour, grains, sugar, dairy, and certain types of fat. Six weeks ago I began eating a 90% raw food diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish occasionally. Today my health has improved to the point that I am able to take a lot less medication and on some days none at all. The daily and constant pain and fatigue are gone. I believe that my health is improving everyday. Eating mostly fruits and vegetables may seem extreme to a nation of meat eaters. But in my case the author's recommendations seemed like a small price to pay for regaining my health. I highly recommend this book to African Americans who want to "clean up" their diets and live a health sustaining life style.

What not to eat, May 29 2008
By Karen Bennett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drugs Masquerading as Foods: Deliciously Killing American-Afrikans and All Peoples (Paperback)
I have started reading this book and have had to rest whilst I absorb all of the information. I had some knowledge about certain food types and the ill effects they cause, but this book goes way beyond what I knew.
It focuses on Americans and their statistics, that has taken some getting used to but it's going to be an excellent read and will assist me in reinforcing this famous saying to my children..."we are what we eat"

Drugs Masquerading as Foods Review, Feb 27 2011
By M. Reed - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drugs Masquerading as Foods: Deliciously Killing American-Afrikans and All Peoples (Paperback)
Not what I expected. It's more of a reference journal than a reading book. Don't expect to curl up with a blanket and cup of tea and read this material.
The book is packed with references and information on fruits, vegetables, spices, liquids, vitamins, hormones, drugs, animals, manufacturing processes, etc. Makes you question and analyze your eating habits.
If you like endulging in treats, eating at parties, and dining out - you're better off getting a recipe book. However, if you're ready to make a drastic change in the way you eat, this book is for you.
