@[...] You have a very valid point, I had the same observation/confusion.

This is speculation from my side, but we have to take into consideration that the Ashton manual involves experiences from people who went through - most likely - a relatively stabile, controlled taper compared to ours (many of us tapered too fast, C/Y, etc.).. I am pretty certain that we have a more sensitive nervous system.

I would be careful for the time being with caffeine, strong tea and alcohol.  

So I would rather pass on the above. As for sugar, I would consider a moderate consumption. 

Try to gather your own experiences regarding other food/drinks. You will enjoy these for a long time after you recover :mybuddy:
