Strong Cheese

[Taffycat]

It's the tyramine, which is present in reasonably high amounts in cheese, which triggers palpitations.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tyramine can also cause insomnia, brain overactivity,sweating, and is the reason that cheese, pickled fish and chocolate have a reputation for causing nightmares. (You don't have to eat all three of them together. )[/font]

Hey thanks Niv it's nice to have an explanation at long last

My uncle Jim used to eat cheese before going to bed as he said it gave him nice dreams, I think he meant naughty ones!!
