Re: Chocolate...anyone?THANKS

I suppose that perhaps (take this as my own interperetation of

someones interperetation of someones guessing of....)

If I remember correctly cacao is quite alkaline thats why it

usually requires so much milk and sweetening and cocoabutter

for most people anyway.

Also, I know that so many varieties of beans end up causing

problems and when we can eat them, it is always after careful

preparation. I'm suspecting that any one of these factors,

in addition to the fact that it is a stimulant may cause our

GI to straighten up and create a mucous barrier thereby

making it harder for necessary nutrients to be absorbed

(and causing " D " ) could be the reason that cacao is on the

illegal list. Except for cocoa mixes that contain

all sorts of sugars etc, I don't think pure cacao would

encourage yeast growth, just a rejective reaction in the

intestines. (My guess.....for what its worth.)

Healthy Holidays to you all! -Allan.
