This is easy to fix with food or supplements.

I really believe that most anxiety disorder diagnoses are people who want to feel special by having a disorder.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Oh no, what if I can’t get enough choline?

[dfwgator]

Eat your eggs!

I eat at least four eggs every day.

[Deepeasttx]

Oh here we go. Now the American Heart Association will jump on this bandwagon!

I have been reading this about Choline since the 1970s.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Eat two eggs a day cooked in Irish butter.

[waterhill]

You better like chicken

[married21]

[Flatus I. Maximus]

> foods rich in choline include beef liver, eggs (particularly the yolk), beef, chicken, fish, soybeans and milk,

Perhaps explaining why so many militant vegans come across as nuts.

It’s certainly a factor.

“This is the first meta-analysis to show a chemical pattern in the brain......”

Makes one wonder if this type of analysis were to be utilized on the body as a whole, what other ailments may be properly diagnosed.

I don’t know about anxiety but I have experienced shaper memory with lecithin and other choline supplements. Better than ginko biloba.

[Fresh Wind]

I’ve read that Choline is good for fatty liver problems.

I was just reading something earlier today about low GABA being linked to anxiety and depression.

[BEJ]

I don’t think it’s an easy fix. Diet helps regulate the mind, but overwhelming experiences also determine disorders. This paints a too optimistic view, as if all these things could be corrected by one thing. The other article that you had on anxiety in rats also suggested a cure through URO A supplements (e.g., from pomegranates). However, that doesn’t aways translate into the same result for humans. There can be an 80% chance it will miss. URO A does provide muscle tone for humans, but not relief from anxiety. We would have known long before if it did.

Anxiety disorders include:

—Generalized anxiety disorder

—Panic disorder

—Social anxiety disorders

—Phobias

What would help the most if someone concluded they had them all?
