Plus, always cold, weak fingernails, frizzy hair, etc. I was a bit chubby, and the mom was always trying to starve me with non-fat food. I didn't like meat, other than hot dogs and frozen fried chicken, so I lived on canned tomato soup and fruits and veggies. I'm glad I figured that shit out, life is much better these days, though my mom still eats neurotically, and is a psycho, I'm surprisingly sane, though my parents shake their heads and grumble about the way I eat. BTW, I love beans, eat them almost every day. And fruit, lots of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-39557943828643458572011-10-24T10:03:55.497-04:002011-10-24T10:03:55.497-04:00First time, i've ever listened to the music, w...First time, i've ever listened to the music, while reading. Great choice of song, and great review. I was encouraged by the article. During my training, I am often advised to "stick to the evidenced based treatments." I am excited to see articles like this showing, what appears to be at least some correlation between diet and mental health. Did you see the article in the American Psychologist "Lifestyle and Mental Health" by Roger Walsh. I think it was in January's edition of this year. Could have been titled, Promote Caveman Living. hahaCaleb Tipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005398129653073828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-24448857625257532062011-10-21T10:30:03.935-04:002011-10-21T10:30:03.935-04:00Hi, the latest episode of the tv show "House&...Hi, the latest episode of the tv show "House" concluded that you are (sometimes) what your medical pathology makes you be. An excessively altruistic donor was found to have Plummer's disease, viz. thyroid nodules causing excess hormones.<br /><br />http://www.tv.com/shows/house/charity-case-1399152/<br /><br />That seems like a stretch to me, but I'm just pointing it out for curiosity sake as something that's out in pop culture.Lernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409056468297249099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-75314111101657479982011-10-20T19:39:51.055-04:002011-10-20T19:39:51.055-04:00You're right.

I'm sure what we ingest plays a part in our vulnerability to disease of all kinds including mental illness, and in my son's case, I suspect marijuana was a big factor.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07663014980923435365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-8843551155982738462011-10-20T17:31:52.766-04:002011-10-20T17:31:52.766-04:00I had to laugh Emily as when I first read this blo...I had to laugh Emily as when I first read this blog's title.. I thought to myself...well, I do eat quite a bit of nuts!!<br /><br />I do think it is all connected.. muffin tops in teens and rolls of fat midsection.. are the beginning evidence of overproduction of the fat growth hormone insulin...I do believe when hormones are out of whack physiologically, they throw things off emotionally too.Lynn E.

Obviously mental health disorders are due to a complex mix of genetic vulnerability, temperament, and environment, including family, diet, stressors, and toxins including drugs. It is highly plausible that a processed food, junk diet will introduce toxins and reduce resiliency to stress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429177284200775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-20295178000984178042011-10-20T13:44:43.357-04:002011-10-20T13:44:43.357-04:00What about the evidence linking marijuana use with...What about the evidence linking marijuana use with psychosis?
