Interesting story in the news today

Interesting, Jane, Caffeine has a "wiring up" effect on the brtain, so it is believable that drinking a lot of it could cause some people to see things that are not there.

They found that three cups of brewed coffee (or seven cups of instant) equivalent to about six cups of strong tea, nine colas, four Red Bulls and about one-and-a-half cups of coffee at a boutique café made the people in their experiment have a three-times-higher tendency to hear voices and see things that were not there than those who consumed the equivalent of a half-cup of brewed coffee (or one cup of instant coffee).
"It is possible that the association between caffeine intake and hallucinations was due to the fact that people who are prone to associations tend to use caffeine to help them cope with their experiences, said Durham psychologist Charles Fernyhough, who worked with Jones on the research."

I think I am safe enough with two or three cups of medium strength spread over the day.

It was a joke as I cook lots of celeriac Jane; it is a bit of a low-carb staple. Just can’t imagine many millennials would have cooked with it (though I may be being unfair). Ditto octopus which OH used to catch all the time on holiday.
I agree about spirulina, vile stuff.
Love avocado, another staple here.

The only time I ate celeriac (not that long ago in fact) I started to itch all over and found that afterwards I can't eat celery either now, so no, it is not on my weekly shopping list.

Love aubergines in a caponata,find avocado boring,very fond of beetroot and spinach and celeriac. Porridge oats ,quinoa,couscous are store cupboard staples. Matcha I've had in Japan and didn't like it and octopus revolts me especially after that awful woodcut from the British museum.had various healthy green smoothies in oz and felt unimpressed.

GS2 (5) likes making smoothies and produces green ones with all sorts of stuff in them. Still, rather that than Red Bull DH and I have been eating Houmous since the 60s the legacy of eating in Greek restaurants in SoHo I suppose.DD (being a biochemist) just stresses the importance of lots of different colours.

DGD likes making smoothies but they always have to be the same - banana, yogurt and berries (preferably strawberries) and sometimes icecream.
Not so healthy with the icecream but delicious and very cold!
