Ok, I need to ask this. As I said before, I’m the type who needs

the “whys” answered. Milk chocolate being bad I can see (and besides that it doesn’t

even taste good, in my view). But straight cocoa would seem to me a whole other

ballgame. As would a good, rich 70% or 80% (or higher) dark chocolate with honey

rather than sugar added.

So I’m hoping someone can tell me why natural cocoa is bad –

based on CURRENT knowledge of cocoa and its positive properties. It

contains no sugar or milk, and it does contain healthy stuff – which was not

yet recognized when Elaine wrote her book. I admit I’m skeptical about this

non-use of cocoa. What in it, exactly, “feeds the bad bugs”? That just doesn’t

seem logical.
