How to Eat

Psychology Today, May/June-We know
that the foods we eat affect the body,
but they may have even more influence on how the brain handles
its tasks.
Mood, motivation, and mental performance are powerfully influenced
by diet. (Cites research conducted by Philip Langlais,
Ph.D., a professor of psychology
at the University of California, San Diego
Medical School.)

Alameda Times-Star, June 4-Given how
alpha-dominant dogs have become over beta-subservient humans
in the last 15,000 or more years, it probably shouldn't shock
anyone that two-legged scientists invest so much research in
the furry, four-legged rulers of so many households. A recent
study, led by Nicholas Christenfeld of UC
San Diego, examined whether dogs and owners come to
look alike. They (the humans) asked strangers to match pictures
of dogs with their people. That proved much more difficult than
popular myth attests.
