Hi Allison,

I guess the key is that we can have one square and take it or leave it, but it's enjoyable to eat. Nice to hear that it changed for you too.

: I avoided chocolate entirely for
: years. Then a few years ago, I
: began having unsweetened cocoa
: powder in my shake if I was having
: a tart fruit like apricots or dark
: tart cherries. I also discovered
: Lindt 90% cacao chocolate, which
: has almost no sugar in it. I
: really enjoy the texture and the
: rich, bitter flavor. I have not
: noticed any negative effects from
: it. I just have one square of the
: chocolate bar when I have it.

: I don't know if I would have been
: able to sort it out if I hadn't
: stopped chocolate entirely for a
: while. Also, I probably wouldn't
: have liked unsweetened chocolate
: years ago, although I preferred
: bittersweet dark chocolate to milk
: chocolate.
