Since alcohol is helping as well, chocolate is best to be administered in the form of brandy-filled pralines. Say, "cognac" flavor from Finnish manufacturer Panda Oy.

The good news: I am Sardinian on my mother's side.

The bad news: I don't drink that much wine.

Okay. I can deal with this. My medication of choice is Dove Dark. I call it my "Death By" chocolate. I'm good...

I believe that Woody Allen predicted something similar to this in his movie "Sleeper" back in 1973. The script about a Rip Van Winkle character goes:

"HAS HE ASKED
FOR ANYTHING SPECIAL ?

YES, THIS MORNING
FOR BREAKFAST.
HE REQUESTED SOMETHING
CALLED WHEAT GERM,
ORGANIC HONEY
AND TIGER'S MILK.

[ Laughs ]
OH, YES. THOSE WERE
THE CHARMED SUBSTANCES...
THAT SOME YEARS AGO
WERE FELT TO CONTAIN
LIFE-PRESERVING PROPERTIES.

YOU MEAN
THERE WAS NO DEEP FAT ?
NO STEAK OR CREAM PIES
OR HOT FUDGE ?

THOSE WERE THOUGHT
TO BE UNHEALTHY,
PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE
OF WHAT WE NOW KNOW TO BE TRUE.


Woody got the fudge right! Who knows about the rest?

Manufacturers need to lower the sugar content. This may result in a product that is not popular with a lot of current chocoholics

Low sugar chocolate is an acquired taste. I've never seen it (in the USA) made with both sugar and artificial sweeteners, and I don't know why, because both aspartame and sucralose (Splenda) would be excellent for that purpose.
