| Dec 2, 2015 at 11:09 | comment | added | YviDe | @Aequitas not really. Sorry, that answer was a bit of a mess and unclear. I just did a major revision and hope it's a bit clearer now (I plan to add more in the end later). Bright light will not increase melatonin production, but bright light with the blue wavelengths removed has the same effect as dim light (increased, but not peaked, production), as I understand sources 1 and 2 | |

First major revision

| Dec 2, 2015 at 9:59 | comment | added | YviDe | @anongoodnurse see ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=6233#reference - that's confusingly how that database is supposed to be referenced. I'll correct the nutrition part later, thanks for the feedback | |
| Dec 2, 2015 at 9:45 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | That's not the link I was directed to from the Wiki reference. (?) The Wiki link ([22] in section 4) is ars.usda.gov/main/site_main.htm?modecode=80-40-05-25. | |
| Dec 2, 2015 at 9:34 | comment | added | YviDe | @anongoodnurse that second citation is how citations to ndb.nal.usda.gov are supposed to look. To me, that looks like a good source for the nutritional data in that table... | |
| Dec 2, 2015 at 9:24 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | Wikipedia is tricky to use as a reference. Often their information is unsupported by any references, or are based on mis(interpretations/representation) of references. Your wiki article bases its sources of tryptophan in food on two articles, one about cocoa powder's addictive effects on smoking (!) and another links to the general USDA Ag Research Service page. Also, note [3] is based on very small numbers and the effects were (probably) unrelated to diet (the results and conclusions drawn are confusing.) That's just two. :( Thanks. | |
