6. It does make you sleepy. But as you say some other foods do too. That doesn't mean turkey doesn't.That one's mostly from people trying to justify eating too much

7. Cell phones may or may not be a hazard in that setting. however, they CAN interfere with critical care equipment. But the signs you see mainly deal with consideration. So while you may be correct that it probably won't interfere with the functions of most equipment, there is enough evidence to state that it can.

Lellu, I was listening to some Kingston Wall on the way into work - speaking of Finland

Thanks for the interesting post, now I must work the rest of the day...
I would like to highlight that these are not in anyway my conclusions/opinions. I said that it was a translation/referate but I guess the right term would have been translation/summary. (I couldn't find "referate" from dictionary so it was probably pig's Latin )

About the turkey thing... The rest of the thing goes:
Instead, many researches have shown that eating lots of carbohydrates (sugars for example) increases the amounts of substances ("serotoniini" and "melatoniini" in finnish) that make one sleepy. Especially vegetable products contain lots of carbohydrates.
So the correct statement should be something like: "Eating food makes one sleepy"

This shows how important the context is... I apologise.

Ps. I don't have any Kingston Wall... yet.
