Revelation: Be Wary of Chocolate Health Claims

This morning I read an intriguing article whose content will sound familiar to your ears, Sisters and Brothers.

Healthy Chocolate

Chocolate as health food, especially dark chocolate, has been around for several years now in the media. Of course your Chocolate Priestess is quite fond of dark chocolate but read the article carefully. It isn't just about the chocolate but what is added or not added to it that offered this woman comfort in her world of physical pain.

I have to wonder if blueberries or cocoa alone could have had similar results. If not what is going on chemically and spiritually speaking?

Everyone reading this blog of course likes, perhaps even adores chocolate, but we should never forget our focus on moderation and full appreciation of it coupled with a healthy dose of skepticism when we read claims about the Divine substance.

Sisters and Brothers, may you, too, take the time to slowly appreciate what the Divine and human ingenuity have offered you in chocolate.
