If it was actually "suppressing libido" what Kellog wanted, I can assure you
that he was on the wrong path. The woman with the best libido I met so far
was a vegetarian grain eater since 20 years.

Food affects mood in some way, that's for shure.
Some info can be found at:

(how brain transmitters are influenced).
High dopamine I've read (somewhere else) to work in such a way that animals
even try to mount other animals of the same gender.

What I remember from feeding dogs is that they are said to become more
*aggressive* when fed raw meat. But personally i find  aggression as not
very helpful for libido.
