It is interesting to note that galvanic response can detect unease and
emotions such as guilt, apprehension, etc. And I believe that we
innately know what foods cause us troubles (allergies or other). So it
would be natural to show a galvanic response while holding a bottle of
milk that you [already] know to cause an allergic reaction. The
instinct can be a powerful mirror of the way we are. Sometimes those
gadgets can unlock our unconscious knowledge - but nothing paranormal.
