According to research currently being conducted by University of the Highlands and Islands in Great Britain, there may be a link between gluten and mental illness, schizophrenia in particular. I find studies like this quite interesting. Why? Because I have been in numerous psychology classes and never have I heard a professor mention a mental illness being linked to a chemical in food.
Maybe the scientists are on to something. If we overeat and are not active that contributes to gaining weight, heart disease, and high blood pressure to name a few. Diabetics who eat too much sugar have complications and need insulin. So, I suppose that something in the food we eat can contribute to mental illness.
