this is where a varied diet comes into play. not eating the same things everyday so there is less chance of toxicity.

I think cacao nibs are a good source of copper. And also the fats in them are high in saturated and monounsaturated fats, and low in pufa

I don't know what to believe about cocoa powder. I'd like to know if it's androgenic or estrogenic.

Chocolate is high in stearic acid, magnesium and antioxidants!

Also Theobromine is a bit like love!
