Food and Medicine

I have noticed the disturbing trend in medicine of name pathological processes and nasty stuff after food. Just a few examples: Strawberry tongue - Kawasaki's; Chocolate cyst - endometreosis; rice water stool - Cholera. There are a bunch more but that being said, which ones have you heard and do you find these comparisons a little unnerving?
