Ellen says: Researchers believe that what you eat and drink may contribute to certain kinds of headaches, especially migraines. But proving a definite link between diet and headaches is often difficult, and no single food affects all sensitive people. The following have been most commonly involved: Aged cheese, alchoholic beverages, nuts and peanut butter, yogurt, sour cream, cured or processed meats, caffeine-rich drinks, freshly baked yeast products, chocolate, MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and aspartame.Most of the suspect foods and beverages contain substances that may constrict or dilate blood vessels of the brain. One major culprit is tyramine, a chemical that occurs naturally in many foods. Nitrites, used in cold cuts and frankfurters, can also dilate blood vessels. For some people, not eating for many hours, or suddenly abstaining from certain foods, such as coffee, may bring on headaches.
