QUOTABLE:

“We already know that aspects of western diets are strongly associated with heart disease, cancers, etc., but the area which is most likely to be sensitive to diet is brain chemistry and, hence, behavior because the brain is the most sophisticated organ in the body. We simply have not begun to address the behavioral implications. It is a little like people becoming drunk or intoxicated but not even being aware of the source of the intoxication. Would you expect that, in altering your brain chemistry, what you eat alters how your brain works? Clearly, the evidence that is mounting now appears to suggest that, yes, it does.”
