I don't remember reading Nutrition and Your Mind, but alcohol was certainly relevant to my life in 1975--it was a major part of my rather questionable coping strategy.
Those were the days when my only cookbooks were the Adele (not Angela!)

Some of them have made a lot of money morphing them into diet books. I don't remember if I experimented with his ideas back then—probably.
