I have to disagree with all this melatonin nonsense. It is a hormone. Never take hormones or hormone precursors in any form. They are so bad for you.

technically then, you should never eat turkey considering tryptophan is only 2 stages away from serotonin (tyrptophan --> 5-hydroxytryptophan --> serotonin).

plus, as melatonin is a tryptamine (n-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine i think), i guess that means fun stuff like mushrooms (psilocybin = 4-hydroxytryptamine) are also out. plus, many wine grapes contain non-negligable amounts of melatonin, which by this assessment means wine is pretty bad for you.

i disagree with you CC. taking hormones is not necessarily bad for you. abusing hormones is.
