High Tryptophan Foods Slideshow

The information that I am presenting is well known. I am simply presenting it in a graphical format. Tryptophan has been suspected in mental illnesses including schizophrenia and depression. Conversely it is good for pellagra and protein malnutrition. Pellagra and protein malnutrition are almost nonexistent in the US. However, alcoholics are at risk for malnutrition because their diet is mostly carbohydrates.

The fact that tryptophan floods the brain cells in mental disease is not well known. Those foods that are high in tryptophan have been worked out by the US Dept. of Agriculture. I may be the only person alive who realizes that tryptophan floods the brain cells causing mental diseases.
