Yes, I do understand that. BUT: polysaccharides are a NO on SCD, and

cocoa has polysaccharides beyond the small amounts in legal

vegetables.

Also -- and I hate to throw this at YOU again -- I've worked with

apparently legal cocoa and it causes MAJOR reactions. Plus, from a

standpoint of the Lindt bars with 85% cocoa or 99% cocoa, I tried those

after some years and determined that they stopped my weight loss dead in

its tracks. Since my obesity issues are related to my gut issues, I have

to conclude that in some way, the cocoa feeds the bad bacteria.

So, it's not just " Elaine's attitude, " here. This is based on

personal research.

Just checking..

The Lindt bars ARE processed.

However, plain old ground cocoa nibs not only stopped weight loss in its

tracts, it caused mega-runs. I'll keep looking for the other article on

composition of cocoa, and if I can find it, I will re-post it.

The closest SCD-legal thing to chocolate are the " chocolate "

cookies I made last week. Recipe is not quite perfected.

Obviously

Cocoa larabars are not legal, of course.

And then, of course, there's my story about chocolate and

carrots.
