I wonder what he would write about turkey. Minute 30: Now the insulin in your body causes you to pump tryptophan into your brain! Minute 45: That tryptophan is turned into serotonin, a chemical is might be implicated in SIDS! Minute 60: Your pineal gland turns the serotonin into melatonin, which is the same chemical that is produced when you take LSD or cocaine! Minute 70: As leftover serotonin is broken down, your body excretes 5-HIAA, a chemical that is correlated with some tumors and cancers! It's not worth the paper it's printed on. ;) (Yes I totally made up those times above, and played very fast and loose with real, actual facts.)
