What Foods Increase Irritability or Anger?

Soda

If you've spent more than a few minutes on EatThis.com, you'll know how anti-soda we are. Given that the toxic drink also puts you in a bad mood, it's a bit sad people sacrifice so much for such a short-lived fix. "Soda drinks contain simple sugars that are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream," explains celebrity nutritionist and health consultant Mikaela Reuben. "This causes a rapid rise in energy and then a crash, which affects blood sugar control, energy levels, and mood." Zero calorie diet sodas are especially harmful, and not just because of the linked-to-cancer aspartame.
