the behavioural conditioning stuff is true
but I strongly suspect that there is a strong link between crap that is in food and behaviour

example: I quit smoking and would get twichy at work and unable to concentrate. I associated this with needing a smoke.

I gradually discovered that it didn't happen unless I ate crisps. Crisps that have MSG in them. Eating crisps that don't have MSG in them doesn't have the same effect, therefore that was the cause of my twitchiness.

Cutting that out has made things much better. I also discovered that eating an orange counters the effects.

Imagine this twitchy inability to concentrate in a small child.
