The risk and the impact of a diet-gene mismatch is far higher and worse for Black populations for three main reasons: 1. Far more people of African ancestry carry variants like FADS efficiency and Duffy-null, which increase sensitivity to inflammation, salt, and immune stress.

Gene-diet mismatch is a significant modifiable contributor toward black intellectual and behavioural underperformance.

If Physiological factors like poor delivery to the brain in childhood of iron or oxygen almost always lowers cognitive potential. And These modifiable conditions are far more common in black communities. Then… The IQ gap is inevitable so long as the health gap remains.

It’s amazing to think that every study with black cohorts has been done in the context of a gene-diet mismatch. None have tested black ppl when metabolism & diet are truly aligned with ancestry from preconception onward. We’ve never seen this population under optimal conditions

The risk and the impact of a gene-diet mismatch is far higher and worse for black populations compared to other groups for three main reasons: 1. Far more people of African ancestry carry variants like FADS efficiency and Duffy-null, which increase sensitivity to inflammation,

If nutrition, oxygen delivery, and metabolic health are major drivers of brain development And if black populations have never been studied with those factors optimised for Then It’s incredibly premature to claim that the IQ gap cannot be closed.

We have all the evidence around us showing what happens when Black people live with a gene-diet mismatch. The results are in and they are not good. What we haven’t seen is how they perform when their genes and diet are finally aligned.

These conversations are useful because eventually black people will run out of things to blame and be left with just themselves.

My radical idea is that much of the black-white IQ gap could be because one group is hampered by a gene-diet mismatch, while the other is more likely to eat in a way that aligns with their biology.

Today marks 10yrs since the Bataclan massacre. Muslims slaughtered 130 and maimed 683. Victims were castrated, raped, disembowelled and tortured before execution. French authorities suppressed this fact for 'social cohesion'. This image was taken moments before the attack.🇫🇷

Many say that black culture is the problem but, a gene–diet mismatch shapes biology & biology affects behaviour, & behaviour becomes culture. So, the best way to change black culture is to change their biology, through the adoption of a diet that’s aligned with their genes.

“If, to you, God is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance.” Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks down the idea of “God of the Gaps.”

Nutrition is an upstream determinant of: •brain formation •birth outcomes •cortisol regulation •inflammation •sleep •attention •emotional regulation •self-control •intellectual curiosity •resilience •relationship stability •long-term earning potential

We keep trying to raise the floor of black cognitive abilities with educational interventions, funding and behavioural programmes. But gene-aligned nutrition before pregnancy and throughout childhood is the only way to raise their cognitive ceiling.

Asian kids raised in those same slums would outperform black children raised in mansions.

Hereditarianism in one sentence: “Genes explain Black–White IQ gaps… but don’t worry, those genes won’t cause any measurable differences in how black and white people process food that could result in differences that affect the brain”.
