Unfounded Chemical musings

I drank no coffee this morning . Coffee contains the opioid cafestrol. Today I should have had a headache by now without my dose of coffee. But I also rarely eat milk or cream. Today I ate ice cream, which contains various milky opioids. This makes me suspect that my theory is correct: that the terrible headache of coffee withdrawal has much to do with the cafestrol, an opioid which I replaced with those in milk today. Traditionally this is thought to be caffeine withdrawal. My unfounded suspicion is that it is a combination of both.
