Why you shouldn't eat chocolate

[Guest guest]

Hi. I guess my earlier post didn't go thru, but I had something interesting to

share regarding chocolate. My husband is a chocolatier and so I am well versed

on the various types. This has been interesting for me on SCD - while I've been

fantatically faithful for alittle over 2 years to SCD, I will admit to eating a

truffle now and then when they are out when i am there. Every time I do, I have

symptoms all over again and it triggers off the cravings - I have use alittle

oil of oregano for a couple of days and back to normal.

I am always amazed how a couple of truffles can do this - it seems very odd.

Then I started talking to people and found a couple of articles, here's one :

The whole coco process involves it's own microbiology as you can see from this

article. I have/had a type of Candida (Krusei) that is hard to kill and

supposedly you can't get it from chocolate, but I don't believe it since it's in

the chocolate fermentation process.

So, I am really rethinking my chocolate temptations and finding another vice

besides chocolate.
