I understand why you would have your doubts about criminal behavior and allergies.
We certainly don't need any more excuses for bad behavior. It's sad that there will always be people (and lawyers) in society who will try to misuse discoveries and programs for their benefit.

I could be persuaded in part to agree that chemical imbalances caused by substances whether food, allergen, etc....could affect one's mood or frame of mind... but not "choices"...with the exception of hallucinogenic drugs. (or chocolate *grin*) Do you happen to remember where you found the article? I sure would like to see what research techniques they used. :)
