Turkey Comas
Turkey Comas - cuisine / physiology -
It is often said that consumption of turkey causes drowsiness due to high levels of the amino acid tryptophan.
In reality, tryptophan levels in turkey meat are similar to those of other popular meats like beef or chicken. The increased feeling of drowsiness is likely due to the massive amounts of carbohydrates often consumed during a full turkey dinner.
