Food <strong>and</strong> Mood - Cheese<br />

Amines like histamine <strong>and</strong> tyramine are found in large quatities in<br />

cheeses like Cheddar, Blue Ch., Swiss Ch, <strong>and</strong> “Dutch-style” Ch.<br />

In these strongly ripened cheeses the casein protein is broken<br />

down to AAs <strong>and</strong> decarboxylated to amines (smell).<br />

In some people small quant. & in all people large quantities cause<br />

- - rise in blood pressure<br />

- headaches <strong>and</strong> rashes<br />

but cheese prevents tooth decay by Streptococcus<br />

good to end meal with it! Also:<br />

people after cheese feel deep satisfaction<br />

“ A dinner which ends without cheese is like a<br />

beautiful woman with only one eye.” Says<br />

Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1986) The<br />

physiology <strong>of</strong> taste. North Point Press , San<br />

Francisco, USA (translated from the French 1830)
