Dr. Sebi recommends avoiding hybrid foods (plants and their fruits made by unnaturally cross-pollinating two or more plants) because they change the genetic structure, electrical composition, and pH balance to its detriment. One such food is garlic, a plant food we are accustomed to eating but is not the best food to consume.
