Indeed, this is true, and one's diet should be very strict.

Monoamine oxidase(the enzyme) has a variety of roles, apart from making oral dmt work. It will also prevent the breakdown tyramine which is contained in many fermented/ripe foods, which can in turn cause a problems(lethal in the worse case).

Back in the day MAOIs were THE drug to treat the depression. This health risk is a well documented medical fact, and one of the reason for the MAOI -> SSRI movement. MAOIs are useful, however surgical caution should be exercised.

Altho SOME of these can be benign. SWIM used to take deprenyl/selegiline as part of his nootropic stack. No diet was followed and he was fine, as long as he stayed away from cheese-heavy dishes(poutine). Felt fucking awesome for months btw.
