What about chocolate. Does chocolate help?

Most chocolate that you buy in the store is not going to be helpful. Studies have shown, however, that cocoa (in moderation) has a number of health benefits, but you need to get the kind which has not been processed with alkali. Also, I recall that the proteins in dairy can bind with the polyphenols in cocao and interfere with their absorption. So it is best to drink it alone, or maybe with a little coconut or almond milk. I’ve also eaten it by mixing the powder with coconut oil and honey or maple syrup to make my own “chocolate.” That’s actually fairly tasty, but you need to experiment with it to get a decent consistency and the right level of sweetness. You can also try adding some crushed walnuts.

Chocolate helps...no matter what your problem may be! :)

I don’t like that spice and never use it outside of making pickles. I guess I can up my chocolate-covered pickle intake a bit, LOL!
