Chocoalte contains:
1) Sugar
2) Caffeine. This is an aging drug. It puts your body into stress. It makes people tired so that they then crave more of the drug which made them tired in the first place, just because it gives them an initial kick which exhausts their adrenal glands.
3) Phenylethylamine (PEA) (Pronounced Phenyl-ethyl-amine).
I was told this by a naturopath I know and respect, who is very well read and knows all kinds of interesting facts about natural health, that Phenylethylamine is something that your body produces when you are happily in love.
I have an intuitive feeling that that is a main reason why people, especially FEMALES, are addicted to chocolate. They are getting a chemical replacement for love. The problem with any chemical replacement is that your body then stops producing that chemical naturally (since this saves the body trouble). And then the person has to keep getting more fixes (as for any drug addict). So I believe that people who eat chocolate, especially a lot of it, will find it harder to feel true love in their hearts for themselves, other people and especially for God the Creator.
4) Very high oxalate conent, especially in cocoa This can cause kidney stones. (See the numbers here)
5) Anandamide. This subtance mimics majijuana!
6) DANGEROUS levels of lead. (To remove lead, try chelation. We used to sell chelation by suppository, until the government told us not to. Yet you can still by the product, Chelatox, from Canada).
7) 50% of all chocolate, cocoa and chocolate flavoring is farmed by real slaves, many of them children. (The exception to this is organic and fair trade chocolate and cocoa.)
In two documentaries you will see a young teenager who was a slave grower of cocoa say to people who eat chocolate and chocolate flavoring:
“They enjoy something I suffered to make. I worked hard for them, but saw no benefit. They are eating my flesh.“
There are major spiritual ramifications to eating something that was grown by slaves.
