"Furthermore, several studies of prison populations have linked low serotonin levels to violent behavior. The neurotransmitter, dopamine, also plays an important role in behavioral functions, and is similarly lowered by lead exposure during critical periods of brain growth. The social cost of lead toxicity cannot be adequately assessed because of the subtle nature of some of its effects, but we do know that several studies have shown that lead-exposed children require more remedial education than do children free from lead exposure.171 The same is true of behavioral problems." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"At the moment, there are drug barons on the streets, no-go areas in big cities, waste of law-enforcement resources, drug-induced petty crime, high prison populations (each prison place costing more than a place at the best boarding school) and so forth. The social costs of criminalizing cocaine since before 1914 have been very high, and the legalization, at least of coca leaves, would solve a lot of problems." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"Beriberi was relatively common in the general population of Asia, and, globally, in sailors and in prison populations. Prior to the late 1890s, the cause of beriberi was not known. The first clue occurred in 1873, when a Dutch naval doctor observed that European crew members had significantly fewer cases of beriberi than sailors recruited from the East Indies. When the amount of white rice in the diet of the East Indies sailors was decreased, the rate of beriberi was decreased, but it was thought that beriberi was caused by some toxin or infectious agent in the white rice." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)
