How Much of the Body's Energy Is Used Up by the Brain?

Professor Jacker investigated the link between food and mood. Her colleagues thought she was bananas, a slang word meaning silly or crazy. They rolled their eyes, a phrase which describes the gesture of turning your eyes upwards to express annoyance, boredom or disbelief. Other colleagues were patronising - they behaved towards her as if she was stupid or unimportant. Professor Jacker thinks this is because most doctors have little or no training about nutrition and the effect of food on mental health. But her groundbreaking research has been successfully repeated elsewhere,. clearly showing the link between eating well and feeling good.
