Are you also aware that a remedial diet will increase the amount of dopamine 
receptors?  And that this has been known for some time now?
Are you also aware that back in the 1930's when the Big Book of A.A. was 
written that the prevailing theory was that alcoholism is the result of food 
allergies?  And that all of the later research was to either support that 
theory or to bebunk it?
We have known about food allergies much longer than we have known about 
anything else in diets, and, the effects of the food allergies are such that 
we can easily relate cause and effect if we get hives after eating berries.
What we don't relate very well are the cerebral effects of the allergies 
which are not as easy to learn.

For that I can thank some of my  Stuart ancestors!
