Many people take a gram a day with no apparent ill effects. Pearson and Shaw's recent book LIFE EXTENSION, if I remember correctly, discuss its value as a precursor to one of the brain's neurotransmitters. Evidence that it is dangerous to use is news to me, and I would be interested in hearing more. References please? --Norm Andrews, ABI 201-834-3685
