I can’t help but notice this…

Ajinomoto is a Japanese manufacturer of amino acids.  Tryptophan is one of their products.   Tryptophan helps reduce obsessive compulsive behavior and other behaviors like impulse shopping, etc.  Now it is possible Ajinomoto’s products might have been contaminated, which means no tryptophan unless you buy from US or don’t use it at all and opt for medication which will not work unless the diet contains significant amounts of tryptophan, which means consuming at least 100 grams of protein daily.  Of course this is great for the protein manufacturers as long as their products are safe and even then you might not get the amounts necessary as tryptophan competes with other amino acids for entry into the brain.

It would be a sad day if this event were concocted  and pushed onto us like some have proposed about 9/11 in an effort to stop the decline of the economy in hopes of getting people to spend their money, which tryptophan helps prevent, impulse shopping.

O SAY CAN YOU SEE

BY THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT

WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAILED

O SAY CAN YOU SEE…

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

And where is that band who so hauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
