> I take Parnate, and one day I forgot and ate a Chinese meal with soy. Did I ever get a headache. Now I try a very minimal amount of soy and can get away with that.

> Re the cheeses, you have to be careful as there is a Monterray Jack that is not aged, and one that is aged called aged Jack. Also, I would wonder about the processed Cheddar as it will have some cheddar in it, and cheddar is a big no no. I do eat american processed cheese as a substitute for cheddar--hardly the same, but at least I don't go into hypertensive crisis. Usually if you ask, they will put it on the side, and you can try a little and a little more each time.

> ZebaSo I guess this is a pretty stupid question, but do you avoid Mexican restaurants & fast food like Taco Bell? Can't really imagine Mexican food without cheese in it & I'm pretty sure they all use cheddar, or like my local restaurant, a combination thereof. Or do you think that places like Taco Bell use a cheaper, maybe processed form that isn't truly "aged"?
