Dietary supplements slash prisoners' antisocial acts

Dietary supplements can dramatically reduce antisocial acts in a prison population, according to a new large-scale study in the prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry. C. Bernard Gesch and colleagues, calling their findings "remarkable," say that the approach "looks to be cheap, highly effective, and humane."

Schoenthaler says of the Gesch et al. findings, "This is extremely welcome news, because a scientist in Great Britain... has independently confirmed what we've been dedicating ourselves to in studies across the United States for the past 20 years. Thousands of children and adults have now participated in these international studies. The most important finding here is that violent behavior can be reduced significantly at a very low cost, making our schools and correctional institutions much safer."

Similar findings were reported by Richard Carlton et al.

So Why Are Our Government and education departments Neglecting the Role of diet in Making Our schools Safe, Especially With The Allowance of Large Amounts of Junk food to Be Sold in Schools?
