BUT I have a severe reaction to any food that contains or has been in contact with red, green, yellow peppers. Martin, Sweetcorn makes me hyperactive. That's the easiest way to change my mood. Foods that make me feel good are healthy, 'special occasion' types like fresh seafood, exotic fruit and vegetables. Good taste and great nutrition.
Chocolate is usually cheap, tacky, wrapped in highly polluting packaging and high in fat.
Some foods, particularly additives such as Sunset Yellow, have a very profound effect on making me feel lethargic and sometimes even ill. Hazel, UK I've always had a rather Pavlovian reaction to jelly. Having been fed it as a bed-ridden child the site of a packet of Rowntrees can to this day bring me out in mumps. Edmond Rhys Jones, United Kingdom Coca-cola sends my heart racing as does coffee. I have to stay clear of them in the morning and late at night.
