Last night I had a big helping of a UK-brand double cream with some homemade apple crumble, and then experienced horrible heart palpitations in bed. I had no idea why it was happening.
Today I looked at the ingredients of the cream out of curiosity - I'd assumed it was just pure cream - but NO. Of course not. Ingredients: Buttermilk (63%), vegetable oils in varying proportions (35%), emulsifiers, stabilisers.
So, it's probably safe to attribute the palpitations to the "cream". The lesson is, always check the ingredients! I'm usually extremely cautious, but somehow missed this one. And if you're having palpitations, have a look at the ingredients of this kind of stuff, just in case.
