Re: Nutrition and criminal behaviour

Hi Nadia,
I think Mouseclick is right and where your post is a very good one.
The prevailing view is that a poor quality diet will be detrimental to your health, but somehow the Brain escapes this influence and where reasoning/emotions are unaffected as such.

This is about as naive/ignorant as anyone could be.

I had a near-neighbor at one time who was a Psychiatrist working for the NHS here in the UK. To practice this branch of medicine you have to be a qualified Doctor within Mainstream first.
During a discussion on her work I raised the issue of diet and where a lack of the B Vitamin Complex (as just one example) can cause depression, perceptual difficulties, mood disturbance, dementia and psychosis.
She pooh-poohed the idea, and wouldn't even consider the possibility.
Unless the answer is found in a bottle with patented and or generic formulations, nutrition isn't considered to be a possibility.
The last I heard, a six year training programme to become a qualified medical Doctor here in the UK, only 4 weeks is devoted to nutrition: so on reflection, her attitude was hardly surprising.
