THE HOLIDAY DINNER
- Thread starter louixo
- Start date
Didja know that chicken, beef and lamb, as well as oats, all have slightly more tryptophan than does turkey? Sesame and pumpkin seeds have twice the amount, codfish has 3 times the amount, and egg whites have 4 times the amount.
When you get sleepy after stuffing yourself after a big turkey dinner, it's not because of the tryptophan, it's because when you over eat, blood is diverted from the brain to the stomach, which makes you sleepy.
Just a little FYI.
