Yes, cocoa *solids " are illegal for reasons other than the type of

carbohydrate. But cocoa *butter* is free of cocoa solids and as a pure

fat, is legal - just as corn oil and other oils of " illegal "

foods are legal. Elaine told me in a personal conversation that pure

cocoa butter is legal.

That's very helpful -- and it's nice to know that my reasoning is the

same as Elaine's.
