All Things Chocolate

[Lollipop]

I thought it would be good to collate research and recipes and all things chocolate into one thread.

Here is a cool research showing that eating dark chocolate helped the symptoms of Type 2 diabetes!

@Cari can you approve the thread and this post with a link for your oh so adorable problem child – lol?

I love chocolate–chocolate cake and cookies and ice cream more than chocolate bars. But I have occasional instant reactions to pure chocolate. My tongue or the side of my cheek will develop a bleb in seconds. And twice, years ago, the same type or organic dark chocolate from Trader Joe’s gave me a kind of food poisoning–though I didn’t put two and two together right away. That was one of the occasions when a dose of Progest-E detoxed me within one minute. Quite an amazing little thing to happen. And it has happened a couple of other times, too. Once was for tuna poisoning. I haven’t eaten tuna since. But I still go for chocolate. I mean, hey, I’ll take  the risk.

I always remember Ray’s citing the oldest person on record, the French woman who ate a kilo of chocolate a week. My mother, who was a chocoholic, could eat almost a whole box of Russell Stover nuts and chewy and feel great. She would brag that she could clean the whole house afterward, it gave her such energy. 🙂
