Category 'B'
Very beneficial to your health. Things rated a 'B+' may have a few harmful qualities to pay attention to.
Overall beneficial to your health. Things rated a 'B' may have some harmful qualities to pay attention to.
More beneficial to your health than not. However, harmful qualities are most likely associated and shouldn't be overlooked.
The main difference between category 'A' and category 'B' is the harmful qualities typically present in 'B' items. Serious side effects are usually uncommon, but are still possible and should be taken note of.
Category 'C'
Both beneficial and harmful qualities associated. Things rated a 'C+' are typically a bit more on the beneficial side. Still, moderation is important.
A fairly even ratio of beneficial and harmful qualities. Moderation is important. Very general topics that can lean towards both sides of the spectrum will be placed here as well. Rice, for example, can be good or bad depending on the type.

Harmful to your health. Very few, if any, benefits are present. Things in this category should be avoided as much as possible.
Category 'D' is typically for things that are more harmful than beneficial. While consuming/doing something unhealthy once in a blue moon shouldn't hurt, we definitely recommend eliminating 'D' items as a regular part of your routine/diet.
Category 'F'
Category 'F' is for things that fail to bring anything beneficial to the table, and are very harmful to your health. We recommend completely avoiding anything in this category. Long-term side effects of 'F' items are usually very serious.
Category 'N'
'N' stands for neutral. Things placed into this category are generally (a) neither good nor bad for you, or (b) lack the necessary evidence to reach any conclusions.
Long answer
DMT stands for dimethyltryptamine and is a potent hallucinogenic drug. DMT actually goes way back in history. It is assumed and thought to be the drug that tribes who lived in South America turned to. As stated before, with legality issues being involved DMT may not be your drug of choice. It holds higher than cocaine, meth, marijuana, and amphetamines on the illegal charts. This may be one of the most hypocritical facts of DMT considering it can be found right in your own lawn within the blades of grass. Believe it or not, it is also the chemical in which your brain exerts when you hit the REM stage of your sleep and begin dreaming.
DMT can be entered into the body by smoking, injecting, snorting, or by mouth. This can be favorable among many who are looking for this type of drug simply because they can choose between the different methods in order to get their high. The high they experience on average lasts from 10 minutes to 1 hour, depending on dosage. This is also favorable to many who use the drug.
The neurological side effects seen from DMT can be very serious. Some of these include an altered perception of reality, intense visuals (hallucinations), overwhelming fear or anxiety, an altered concept of time, flashbacks, and an overall depressing "trip". Physically, DMT is known to increase heart rate / body temperature, irritate the lungs, and cause nausea. Although it is rare to overdose on the drug, many users enter an unconscious state, vomit, and in turn, can choke and die.
