Re: Crime & nutrition was W. A. Price, abridged

Tried to find article where a woman in her mid 20's did these supplements as

part of her probation in the U.K.and said she'd never felt so in control of

her life. Did find an interesting article on some U.S. prison and school

food trials

Wanita, that is a great article! One excerpt that relates to the recent talk

about CLO

(which I'm very interested in, as someone I know has bad osteoporosis):

.....................................................

How unbalanced food is leading to biochemical disturbances in the brain and how

we can correct these disturbances with vitamins and minerals, is partly clear.

Anyone who searches dusty archives of medical libraries will find in a century

of documentation tens of connections and theories, but hardly explainations.

Anti social behavior has something to do with too much sugar, white flour and

shortage of vitamin B11 (folic acid), vitamin B1 (thiamin) and minerals like

iron, selenium and magnesium. The same is true for depression, panic-problems

and hyperactivity. A lot more is not known in those libraries.

More clear is the role of the omega-3 fatty acids. They play a role in the

functioning of the brain. They are in green vegetables, but mostly found in fat

fish. Countless studies have proved, among them a research carried out in

Rotterdam, the Netherlands, suggests that a herring helps to avoid that we get

depressed and senile. The fatty acids play an important role within the signal

transmission in the brains. With a shortage anything can happen in our

white/grey telecommunications center. " The minimal amount of omega-3 fatty acids

in our Western menu leads to a problem with the production of neurotransmitters

like serotonin and dopamin, " says neuropsychiatrist Emanual Severus from the

University of Berlin. And the Swedish pathologist Tom Saldeen: " In the Northern

European countries the intake of Omega-3 fatty acids has dropped in the last 80

years by 80%. That has not only bad effects on the heart and blood vessels, but

also on our brain and our feelings of complacency. That last one does not get

any attention. The brain consists of about 50% of omega-3 fatty acids. It is an

essential fat, the body can not produce it from other fats. Isn't it obvious we

get less happy when our brain gets too little of that Omega-3 fatty acids? "

Not only less happy, also a little more stupid and finally even depressed or

demented. Children become smarter adults when they are fed with mother's milk,

naturally rich of Omega-3 fatty acids. Alzheimer patients have clearly a

shortage of Omega-3 fatty acids in their brains. The same is true for children

with ADHD and people with bipolar disorder. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty

acids from food supplements almost always makes them feel better!
