Fast Food Genocide: How Processed Food Is Killing Us and What We Can Do about It

Inspirational book. The advice is life saving and health promoting. I've been following this for two weeks - early benefits are good mood, clearer thinking, sleep, energy, 6lb weight loss. I've learnt so much, thank you dr furhman. I wish I'd been fed this as a child and I worry about the DNA damage that has accumulated. I can't recommend this book more highly, as a way to take back control from the ill fated descent into obesity and chronic disease. In particular, I wanted to reduce my dementia risk after multiple relatives succumbed. Dr furhman has given me hope and new way of eating to avoid this.

Incredible information. Everyone should read this book.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in nutrition, particularly in regards to the poor and vulnerable.

Another amazing book by Dr. Fuhrman that gets to the heart of a matter and it's a big matter; it's what we're eating. Only now, he's taken the gloves off on this one because we're facing a genocide today that is happening right underneath our noses. It's so right-in-front-of-our-noses that most of us won't even think it's abnormal, let alone a "genocide," (aptly titled) and will literally reward others, including our kids, with foodstuff that are killing us slowly but assuredly, prematurely. I mean, at some point you just must lay it out there and that's what Dr. Fuhrman is doing. He doesn't want you to be one of those people who end up fighting against not only your self-interest, but due to the addiction to refined foods, one of the very core aspects of living that will help you and your family lead long, healthy and disease-free lives that you can genuinely enjoy in ways you probably can’t imagine right now, and throughout your now longer life! With so many other food influences, produced by people who may have good intentions but aren't in tune with what's natural or healthy, and focused more on what's convenient and tasty alone; the truth about eating nutrient-rich healthy foods, for the vast majority of us, is simply not understood beyond "making sure you eat your veggies." Even many in the know, don’t fully understand what it means to eat healthily and how. DrFuhrman does. I can already hear the vested interests gearing up to win you over to their fake foodstuffs and rage war against this book. I/we know how this goes, this book is sure to have at least as many detractors as it will champions because, as a protege of Dr. Fuhrman's for more than 25 years with an objective and comprehensive understanding of the nutritional field; and as a performance, lifestyle trainer and coach with an eye on the impact our lifestyle choices have on our energy and health, performance and well-being; I can tell you, the more refined a message is (one of the few things you actually want refined, unlike your food) and the closer to the truth is actually gets, the more detractors it will have. It simply steps on economic toes; those who've pitched their tent and built their habits around a narrower awareness, smaller ideas, or worse, nutritional tactics that produce predictable and even desirable results in the short term while selling your health short in the no-so-longer term. Look, I get it, food is a huge part of our economy, our culture, and our lives; everything that's edible in our world or conceivably manufacturable is available to us right now or coming soon, and in ways that are so tasty (and addicting) people would, literally, rather die than face the truth that a nutrient-rich way of eating is what you need and will soon want to be eating after you read this book. I'm glad you're here and reading this. You’re about to wake up to the certain reality that is both shocking in one sense, but also joyous as you discover “the healthy needle” in that big “haystack” of bad dietary influences that most of us are lost in. It’s time to get off the path of fast food genocide and on the path to what is going to help you not only live healthily but help you perform better to become more successful. ~ JAM
