Plant-based diets may positively influence mental health.
Vegetarians, in both cross-sectional and interventional studies, appear to have fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and mood disturbance than omnivores, perhaps because of less need for medical treatment or because of the significantly lower intake of arachidonic acid, which is found in particularly high levels in chicken and eggs.
The genetic manipulation of chickens by the poultry industry may also have negative public mental health impacts. Chicken has been linked to a variety of neurological and psychiatric Toxoplasma brain parasites from meat have been linked to schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder.
Google "arachidonic acid"

And so it continues.....
Please show me one, just one LEGITIMATE study that shows any of this nonsense is true. By legitimate, I mean New England Journal of Medicine or Journal of the American Medical Association---Multi University setting, placebo controlled, double blinded. NOT nutrition.org, not homeopathic anything, not some web site, and certainly not that ridiculous journal that publishes dissertations by candidates for a doctorate in pharmacy
BTW, our bodies are constantly breaking down cell membrane phospholipids into arachidonic acid, which is a precursor to a whole array of both beneficial prostaglandins as well as not so welcome inflammatory mediators through the action of cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase.. I doubt that oral intake of arachidonic acid, if it even survives digestion, would have any effect on these processes
And I STILL think this thread was masterminded by VPL
