Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I lived in Japan for 3 years and a Dr. friend there showed me his specimens of various deadly parasites (many still infesting organs removed at autopsy) one can catch from eating sushi (raw fish). Obviously not all raw fish have them but the consequences can be very serious, even deadly. In my view (and his) it is not worth the risk to eat raw fish period.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Idarchetype, As to chocolate, it has health benefits (mood enhancement, antioxidants) but it is important to eat low sugar non-milk chocolate, as near to the original bean as possible. In health food stores here in NJ I can get just crumbled organic chocolate beans, or at least dark chocolate with minimum removal of antioxidants. Too much may cause caffeine problems though such as heart palps.
