Dragon Ball Kai – Episode 30 Review
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Ep 34 Preview
Since my “rundowns” have been more of a tease than anything, I figure I’d change the title…
Time for my preview of this past weekend’s FMA: Brotherhood release, episode 34. Of course, spoiler free.
Mike has described this episode as the best since Lust vs. Roy. Granted, he has a hard on for the General.

Simple episode this week (at least as far as I can tell from the raw, haven’t seen the subs yet). After encountering Olivier Armstrong and her cohorts Ed and Al get to know them, including one who happens to be Ishbalian.

The Thanksgiving Myth: Tryptophan Turkey Nap
For many a generation full Americans have found themselves drowsy and ready for a nap after stuffing themselves at the traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner. This puzzling behavior has long been blamed on the amino acid tryptophan. Unfortunately this is just a myth, as described by Dr. Aaron Carroll and Dr. Rachel Vreeman in their book Don’t Swallow Your Gum!
| The truth is. turkey is not to blame for your sleepiness. Chicken and ground beef contain almost the same amount of tryptophan as turkey – about 350 milligrams per 4-ounce serving. … Swiss cheese and pork actually contain more tryptophan per gram than turkey… |
Those 350 milligrams are far less than the 500-1000 milligrams often prescribed to help people sleep.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acids, as in our bodies can not produce them and must be ingested with our diet. I can’t really tell you much about tryptophan other than the Wikipedia article is filled with complicated sciency words. Don’t let anyone blame their post-dinner laziness on this poor defenseless molecule. Most scientists blame your desire for some shuteye to other aspects of the meal or even the combined experiance.
