Jessica: The list to which I was referring is from a separate report, "Refining the MAOI DIET: Tyramine Content of Pizzas and Soy Products" by Kenneth I. Shulman M.D and Scott Walker, M.Sc.Pharm (3/1999) and a subsequent report, "A reevaluation of Dietary Restrictions for Irreversible MAOs" by the same guys, dated 06/2001. I don't know if this was ever posted online but I learned of it from one of the prior posters and got it by mail. Per that report, the bottom line on some of the foods in question is:
Foods with per serving/tyramine content well below the conservative 6 mg/serving danger level:
Sargento Light Italian, Aged Romano cheese, Ziggy's feta cheese (like that name!) and mozzarella. In the pizza category: double cheese/double pepperoni pizzas from Domino's, Pizza Pizza, Pizza Hut and McDonalds; three common Worcestershire sauces. Of 5 soy sauces tested, only Pearl River Bridge soy sauce presented any problem. They tested a whole mess of wines, all of which registered tyramine levels well below concern (you'd have to have 12 servings of the worst of them - a Spanish red - to reach a level of concern. The Chiantis that were tested didn't prove to be a problem.
Yes, I'm interested in you being the king's tester for the cheeses mentioned in the other report which Lisa reposted, within safe and reasonable limits (whatever the hell those are!)As for beers, I can't say that I have tried them all but I have had a whole slew of the bottled and canned beers tested, with nary a reaction (MAO reaction that is).
