Good mood foods: Some flavors in some foods resemble a prescription mood stabilizer (valproate)

New evidence reveals the possibility of mood-enhancing effects associated with some flavors, stemming at least in part from natural ingredients bearing a striking chemical similarity to valproic acid, a widely used prescription mood-stabilizing drug, scientists reported in Philadelphia. This effect joins those previously reported for chocolate, teas and some other known comfort foods.(chocolate, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, teas and certain other foods)
