Glad you figured this out. I find it wild that so many people otherwise really smart/logical, struggle with connecting their diet to their emotional mood. goes to show how still misunderstood our bodies are. Another symptom I've noticed is coffee will increase the 'cracking' of joints. (I think this is due to it interfering with calcium/acidity levels in the body). The only time I ever had flashes of anxiety was after a 2-month long, 2 pots of coffee / day diet. Interesting from a philosophical perspective that kidneys and the neighbouring adrenals are affected by caffeine, and in ancient eastern texts, the monks had identified kidneys as 'the seat of fear' (i.e. anxiety).
