YOUR FOOD IS K*LLING YOU!
(SOUL TRAIN - 1980)
Dick gregory speaks to Don Cornelius on an episode of Soul Train that aired on 02/09/81.
Gregory broke down how food additives and artificial ingredients were destroying the health of Black youth - pointing to a study where simply removing food coloring and additives from children's diets increased their learning capacity by 6,000% in just six weeks.
Worst kind of karma is family karma
People don’t understand this enough
The family you’re born into is not random. Your bloodline is not random. The people you come through, the people connected to you, the children that come after you, none of that is by accident
So when you do wrong to your own family, that shit is heavier
Because you’re not just hurting one person
You’re hurting the root
You’re damaging the line you came from
You’re creating karma that doesn’t just sit with you. It travels. It affects your children, then their children, and the family after that
People think they can move dirty, lie, hide things, act greedy, dishonour people, then carry on like nothing happened
But energy doesn’t work like that
Family is not just people with the same surname. It’s a bloodline. It’s an energetic chain. It connects the living, the dead, the born, and the ones not even here yet
When you break trust in that line, especially over greed, money, pride, ego, or control, you’re not just breaking a promise
You’re breaking the flow of the bloodline
You’re weakening what your children and grandchildren will carry forward
Not just money
Not just property
Spiritual inheritance
Energy
Honour
Karma
Your children may not know the full story, but they will feel the weight of it
They’ll carry the residue of choices they never even made, because someone before them decided to move dirty and pretend it wouldn’t echo
That’s why doing bad to family is worse
Because family is the root
And when you poison the root, don’t be shocked when the whole tree starts feeling sick
Activated charcoal is an effective remover of many types of toxins. When mixed with water and drunk, it pulls (adsorbs) harmful substances from the GI tract & carries them for elimination through the bowels. Taking it a few times per week helps keep many toxins out of the system.
@PhoenixRyzun@ThorTorrens Those gold four lokos went crazy back in college.
I ended up dunking on the table during a beer pong game after drinking those 😂
Glad I left those days behind me hahaha
4. Direct Damage to Skin, Collagen, and Microcirculation
If you want to look at purely aesthetic vitality, caffeine is essentially an anti-beauty agent because of how it disrupts skin architecture from the inside out:
Collagen Inhibition:
Peer-reviewed dermatological studies show that caffeine directly inhibits **proline hydroxylase**, a critical enzyme required for collagen synthesis. By putting the brakes on collagen production, it accelerates the formation of fine lines and robs the skin of its natural, youthful elasticity and plumpness.
Microvascular Constriction:
Caffeine is a potent vasoconstrictor. It narrows the tiny capillaries that feed the skin surface, drastically reducing local blood flow and oxygenation. This lack of rich, nutrient-dense blood flow is exactly what causes a dull, pale, or sallow complexion, as well as those dark, stagnant under-eye circles.
Dehydration and Cellular Glocking:
As a diuretic, caffeine flushes out systemic moisture. When skin cells are intracellularly dehydrated, the skin loses its natural "dewy" glow, appearing flat, dry, and structurally deflated.
Why your wife should consume no caffeine
1. She will be more chill / less fighting
Caffeine keeps the body in a low-grade, sympathetic "fight or flight" state by elevating cortisol and adrenaline. Choosing a partner who skips the stimulants often means inheriting a naturally calmer, more grounded baseline demeanor. Less artificial stress on the nervous system tends to translate to a more peaceful household environment
2. She will give birth to healthier children
A growing body of independent literature and deeper physiological studies suggest that zero caffeine is the actual optimal baseline for fertility, gestation, and child development
If the goal is absolute optimization of the cellular environment for an unborn child, completely removing caffeine eliminates an unnecessary metabolic stressor, keeps maternal hormones grounded, and ensures uncompromised blood flow to the fetus.
3. She will naturally smell better
Eliminating caffeine keeps her nervous system out of fight-or-flight, radically lowering cortisol and stress-sweat bacteria to naturally sweeten her body odor. Free from stimulant-driven anxiety, her nervous system settles, projecting a genuinely calm, grounded, and magnetically radiant aura.

Periodic cleansing/detoxification of the body is essential to good health. Herbs are powerful aids when it comes to the purification of the organs and elimination channels (kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic vessels, blood, intestines, etc.). Water fasting can also accomplish this.
