the chocolate trigger thing is a myth??
Thank you for asking. The short of it is yes.
Chocolate as a posited migraine trigger came out of migraine journal studies. Basically, people suffering from migraine were asked to keep detailed journals of their lives, including what they ate, and this was compiled and trends were picked out.
One thing they found? People often ate chocolate before reporting a migraine attack.
There were two things going on here, though it took years for people to come to this conclusion. The first is that migraine prodrome can include sugar cravings-- so people who were already well on their way to a migraine attack were craving chocolate, ate the chocolate, and then reported the migraine. The second is that stress is a trigger of both migraines AND sugar cravings. Thus for someone had a rough week, the stress induced both a migraine attack and a desire for chocolate.
Later lab studies in which people who suffer migraine were given chocolate, or cocoa, or small doses of caffeine similar to what's found in chocolate, etc etc found that there was ZERO evidence for chocolate triggering a migraine. No component of chocolate triggered a migraine in sensitive people, even people who reported chocolate as a trigger.
So really, eating chocolate is a symptom of migraine, not a trigger of it.
These same food diary studies also led scientists to (briefly) believe that alcohol might PREVENT migraines. Why? People who reported fewer migraine attacks drank more alcohol. The actual finding here? People who have more migraine attacks don't frequently drink alcohol because jfc who wants a drink when they have a migraine (also migraine fucks up social lives). Alcohol, unlike chocolate, DOES trigger migraine attacks.
So these are the kinds of limitations of food diaries when you are trying to figure out what triggers your migraine attacks, and also why doctors emphasizing food triggers, especially chocolate, get a side eye from me.
That said, there is ample evidence that when people feel in control of their health, they tend to feel better. If you believe that chocolate triggers migraine attacks and you feel like limiting chocolate helps you, I'm not going to tell you to stop.
But if your doctor handed you a pamphlet with 20 year out of date information on migraines that included the idea that you had to stop eating chocolate and cheese (no evidence for cheese, either, eat your heart out), I'm here to say your doctor is at least 8 years out of date with the literature.
TLDR; chocolate fine, alcohol bad, doctors lazy, science progresses
I am always duty-bound to add this part. Do your migraines come on if you drink alcohol? Do they come on immediately? Any form of alcohol, not just wine or red wine, a severe headache within seconds or minutes? YOU DO NOT HAVE MIGRAINE YOU HAVE CLUSTER HEADACHE. A different, far more serious, and - crucially - differently-managed condition. Go read up about it.
Goncharov broke containment.
Midsomer Murders is a fantastic opportunity to see all your favourite actors from other British drama shows, but put into in insane fever dream situations speaking dialogue no normal human being would say and behaving in ways no normal human being would behave.

This final incarnation of the game features a truckload of art, three animations, a full dynamic soundtrack, minor text updates and text accessibility options. In the meantime we were also positively reviewed on the Italian Communist newspaper so that's cool.
