Some people are foodies and their lives revolve around food, cooking and social gatherings. For others it’s cigarettes, pipes and cigars.

For me it’s chocolate and over time I’ve become more discerning about quality. Now, I can taste the difference between Ghanaian, Peruvian and Ecuadorian chocolate, how long it’s been conched for and the ratio of ingredients and over the years I’ve gravitated towards stronger and stronger chocolate. 85% dark chocolate is my go-to daily fix.

I have to say, however, that I’m worried it’s doing me harm.

I’ve begun to experience chronic GERD type symptoms and dizziness/brain fog as well as other possible connected side effects such as low blood iron and heart palpitations. This could be from the theobromine content and oxylates. So I’ve started limiting my consumption to see if things improve.

Chocolate is not just ‘candy’. It’s a powerful mood-altering drug which initiates various physiological responses. It’s deadly to some animals. I wonder if warnings need adding to some products.
