Lightbulb some people

are very sensitive to polyphenols in food.

Some common ones:
Tea
Green Tea
red wine
chocolate

I find myself (and I don't get headaches much) very sensitive
to tea and green tea in hot weather. Every summer I have to
stop consuming them. In winter I don't have the same effect.
(I get a neck ache on one side only)--not really a headache.

I cannot tolerate red wine though anytime, or the red wine
capsules.

Medication overuse headache can be triggered with simple aspirin or Tylenol as well.
