But something interesting happened. I am a bit of a fan of there Milkshakes. I drank one (and nothing else to eat or drink) and noticed my heart rate went up for no reason (about 115 bpm).
I thought it might be something else, so I tried it again a few days later, and again it was about the same.
I then looked into the nutritional info for a large chocolate milkshake that is my usual sin:

I must admin, I have no idea of whether or not I am 'food sensitive' to any of these E numbers (It could all be in my head!). But I think the calories are enough to put me off for a while.
Note to self: Watch 'Super size me' DVD again when you get back to the UK.
