A Notmilk reader asked, “I slipped and ate mango ice
cream and it was delicious, but now I have a migraine.
Could there be a connection?”
Well…it’s not the mango, unless she has also been
requesting three shots of tequila in each mango marguerita!
The food industry is not interested in financing research
demonstrating a relationship between food consumption and
migraine headaches.
The pharmaceutical industry has zero motivation in finding
a food-related cause of migraines. They are happy to sell
drugs which might relieve symptoms, but a simple cure
such as eliminating the trigger would not do their
bottom line any good.
So, expensive studies with human subjects are rare.
Panminerva Medica is a European journal which publishes
studies of internal medicine using human subjects.
In 2002, Panminerva Medica (Mar;44(1):27- 31) published
an article titled:
Food and headache attacks.
A comparison of patients with migraine and tension-type headache.
From the study abstract:
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
“Three hundred and nine patients were involved in the study…
“RESULTS: Approximately one third of the patients reported
susceptibility to certain foods…The foods more commonly
reported as headache triggers were alcoholic drinks, chocolate
and cheese.
“CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that foods may trigger not
only migraine but also tension type headache attacks.”

In 1989, The Journal of Pediatrics recognized that
dairy products cause head throbbers:
“Dairy products may play a major role in
the development of… migraine headaches.”
- Pediatrics 1989;84(4):595- 603
Caution: The three most common triggers for migraines
are alcohol, cheese, and chocolate. At Notmilk, milk
chocolate is considered to be brown cheese with sugar.
Four pounds of milk are required to produce one pound
of milk chocolate. Ten pounds of milk are required to
make one pound of hard cheese.
Remove the trigger and those migraines just might
disappear.

I really enjoy wine. I remember the first time I tried some when I was just 13 years old. My mom let me taste a bit of her red on Thankgiving. Right then and there I became a wine drinker. lol I would guess that I have tried quite a few hundred different wines over the years. It’s kind of fun tasting a new one and learning about how and where it was grown. I’ve been thinking about joining a wine club lately and I’ve been thinking about this 4 Seasons club. I read a review about it on this site. Have you had any experience with it, or would you recommend any other wine tasting club?
No I haven’t. Unless it’s organic wine, most of them give me massive headaches.
Natural wines from Chateau Laurinda in Sparta, NC do NOT cause headaches and other problems that most wines do…
try their wonderful wines!

Random question: I am starting my own blog to share my photography experiences. Do you find it hard or easy to post consistently?
The BLOG is easy – making $$$ is a LOT more difficult!
I recently watched a great video on making $$ using videos on your blog and on YouTube… only time will tell…!

Cool Post I will be checking back
Personally, I’m on your side of that issue.
Just a question. Do you think you could add a little more in the way of content here? I think youve got some interesting points, but Im just not sold. If you really want to get the crowd behind you, youve got to entertain us, man. Maybe you could add a video or two to drag the message home.
A acquaintance sent me this website and I guessed I should check it out. I have taken in cats for a extended time and actually enjoy their company. I recognise some people imagine they are grumpy of prissy or high-maintenance. But I enjoy their independence, their curiousity, and their feel of the total world around them a massive jungle.
