Makes perfect sense - the body "adapts" to the bad
food and it doesn't seem to bother you "as much".

Look at tobacco and other drug interactions. There's
obviously *a lot* of adaptation at work there. Someone
who quits smoking will get light headed, nauseaus,
perhaps even puke when cigarettes are reintroduced.
Interesting, though, the smoker will re-adapt to the
effects of nicotine much more rapidly than they did
the first time they smoked. I have seen people adapt
(and become once again hooked) completely after that
first smoke even though they had been smoke-free for
months, or even years.

I'm sure this is the case for most drug interactions,
even the common over-the-counter drugs.
