Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi all, This is a little off-topic, but the subject did come up here! I'm really interested in possible adverse reactions to dark chocolate. My DH has a collection of very unusual symptoms that no one has been able to diagnose yet after 4 years, that I believe may be related to living in a chocolate-induced high (hypothesis #14). He can't seem to stay away from it long enough to test the hypothesis. My Web searches wind up mostly with the beneficial properties of chocolate (they must have a HUGE marketing board), and then with a discussion of how one's adverse reactions are not, in fact, true " allergies " (i don't care what they're called). Does any one have a source of information on adverse reactions from chocolate? maybe a forum? pituitary research? neurotransmitters? Off-list is okay, if this is too far afield from VGF.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'd like to hear too. Lots of us fight with other allergies. I am trying to figure out whether chocolate bothers me or not. I have gone off of it before, but am wondering if I am extra-sensitive right now because of other issues, or have developed an allergy, or whether it is a red herring! (vegan, faux-herring, of course) Pam On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 10:55 AM, Nancy Ball <bomag wrote: > > > Hi all, > > This is a little off-topic, but the subject did come up here!
