/oss/taxonomy/term/2087/all en /oss/article/controversial-science-environment-food-health/it-started-mystery <p>“You are what you eat” is a time honoured truism. After all, food is the only raw material that enters our body, so we are literally made of what we eat. That of course includes our brain. But what do we fill that brain with? Here I would propose another maxim: “You are what you read.” That comes to mind because I was recently asked about how I originally got interested in what I do. That meant I first had to think about what it is that I do. Of course I know what I spend my time on.</p> Mon, 07 Dec 2015 20:44:28 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 2297 at /oss
