Based on what I read I thought it would work transdermal. I will let you know. The stearic acid behaved like wax

I think it should disperse in coconut oil. I have dissolved beeswax in oil myself and then had added terpentine (not food-related). Even long-chain alkyl esters and waxes will become soluble in oil (but may take a day or two), and coconut oil would be perfect for this (it's both near-fully saturated and a bit too thin for many purposes).Based on what I read I thought it would work transdermal.

@Obi-wan how did travis instruct using the cocoa butter/stearic acid? Do you wash it off after applying it topically after 1 hr or so? It leaves me all greasy otherwise
It takes roughly 3-4 hrs for the cocoa butter to absorb for me. I might be applying too muchDoes it absorb eventually @aarfai?
You could cook with that, and would be somewhat akin to mixing coconut oil and lard (I really hate that word for some reason). I'm not sure if you're still cooking, but a few things cooked can be on the safe side. I used to put coconut oil + salt on steamed broccoli or bok choy, and had liked it.@Travis, just heated up some stearic acid and coconut oil and applied transdermal. It worked! Nice! Now I don't have to throw the 3 pound bag away. Need to apply while it is still warm. A little greasy.

I guess it depends on what chocolate you’re eating. The 85% dark chocolate I have is 50% fat so that yields 17.5g (assuming 34.5% stearic acid) for 600 cals. You’d have to eat 50g of cacao butter to get that 17.5g dose for a total of 450 cals (assuming 9 cals per gram). That’s a lot of chocolate or cacao butter each day either way but I think I’d enjoy the chocolate more. It would be an interesting experiment to run for a week or two to see what your body would do with it. Maybe Vinero’s idea of half chocolate half cacao butter would work better (dark chocolate us very satiating). Maybe the stearic acid in cacao butter is like coconut oil in that it raises you metabolism.
Seems to me there are lots of people here who eat some raw food, and a few who eat mostly raw food (and those who describe it have done themselves good with it).Are there (ex-)rawfoodies in this forum?
White chocolate is made with lots of milk solids and sugar. I don't think it necessarily has more cocoa butter in it.Instead, white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, a pale yellow edible vegetable fat which has a cocoa aroma and flavour.
Maybe white chocolate would be better for Stearic acid since its made from Cacao butter- f
Whereas milk and dark chocolate are produced from various proportions ofthe non-fat part of the cocoa bean,white chocolate contains no cocoa solids whatsoever. Instead, white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, a pale yellow edible vegetable fat which has a cocoa aroma and flavour.
