Food is a drug

Recommended Posts

The foods we eat, and many of our most popular psychoactive drugs, come from plants or animals. The ingredients in these plant and animal products are very similar if not identical to the neurotransmitters our brains and bodies use to function normally. This is why the contents of our diets can interact with our neurons to influence brain functioning.

GaryÂ’s book - Your Brain on Food: How Chemicals Control Your Thoughts and Feelings

Described in reviews as “An absolutely fascinating read” demonstrates how, everything we put into our bodies (legal and illegal) has very direct consequences on certain neurotransmitters in the brain and explains ways to influence brain cell functioning through what we consume.
