What I have noticed, in a number of my clients, is that, when they cut out all artificial sweeteners (Equal, Nutrasweet, etc.), dropped sodas-- particularly diet sodas, and didn't add back in any sugar of any kind, not fructose, not anything (stevia is a wonderful sweetener), cut back on starchy carbohydrates (cakes, cookies, crackers, commercial breads -- particularly anything with hydrogenated fats listed in the ingredients) in a major way, and made sure to consume adequate protein (mainlining meat isn't necessary - a good sugar-free protein shake will do), and take 3 tablespoons of flax oil daily, the depression has very often lifted in and of itself. The artificial sweeteners block seratonin production in the brain (this is the " chemical " the doctors will tell you you don't have enough of when they want to prescribe Prozac, Paxil, etc.). The protein helps build the seratonin. blessings Margaret You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
