Simply eating a specific food could permanently change your behavior for the better, or reverse diseases such as schizophrenia, Huntington's or cancer. In recent tests, normal rats have been made to behave differently just by injecting them with a specific amino acid. The change to their behavior was permanent. The amino acid altered the way the rat's genes were expressed, raising the idea that the right food might permanently halt the genetic effects that predispose people to mental or physical illness.
