Abstract
Subjects who ingested vegetables for breakfast for 8 days were compared with subjects who ate meat breakfasts for 8 days on scales of emotional upset. Two response measures indicated significantly more negative emotionality for the meat eaters than for the vegetable eaters. The present results are discussed in terms of the limited previously existing data and possible blood chemistry mediation.
