      @TurkishPeater I do. In small/reasonable doses.

      BTW https://biochemnordic.com/ray-peat-diet-chocolate/ - written by Ray followers

      However, there are some concerns about iron, some heavy metals, and some polyphenols in cacao...

      Ray himself wrote that cocoa butter is good https://raypeat.com/articles/nutrition/oils-in-context.shtml

      Haidut: "Cocoa should be OK even in higher amounts provided there is no heavy metal contamination. The latter is hard to ascertain unless one has access to a lab that can do the testing. The protein in cocoa is much more anabolic than casein or even meat protein so that alone makes a very useful dietary addition. Peat spoke about the anabolic effects of cocoa several times."

      A little learning is a dangerous thing ;
      Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring :
      There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
      And drinking largely sobers us again.

        @TurkishPeater In my experience cacao is great. If you can find something from South America rather than Africa, I think studies have shown the heavy metal conmtamination to be much less severe. You can often taste it too. Excessively bitter, metallic chocolates are often African ones. If you can find an organic brand, confirmed to be from South America (a particular country being mentioned is even better) this is ideal. Same is true of the cocoa powder. Oxfam has good chocolates that don't contain lecithins, and probably produce cocoa powder too. It is very beneficial, the proteins in chocolate are anabolic and chocolate also contains selegiline

          @CO3 Yep! Currently sipping on some skimmed milk mixed with cocoa powder from Oxfam. Really tasty and doesn't contain lecithins!

            Adding cocoa powder to coffee seems really beneficial... I've started doing it and I've noticed a complete lack of caffeine withdrawal when I do choose to go without caffeine for a few days.

                @TurkishPeater There’s no well-known writing by Satyajit Ray that directly explores cacao or chocolate as a topic. His works largely focused on storytelling, cinema, and social themes, and while food occasionally appears in his stories, cacao isn’t a central element.

                As for eating cacao daily—many people are now adding dark chocolate or raw cacao to their diets because of its health benefits, like antioxidants and mood support.

                If you’re curious about the health effects of chocolate, check out our detailed blog:
                Is Chocolate Healthy? Nutrition Facts You Should Know
                It covers types of chocolate, benefits, what to watch out for, and how to choose healthier options. Great read for anyone interested in adding chocolate to their lifestyle the smart way!

                  @aapkabazardelhi - Heavy metal contamination is also an issue with chocolate.

                    Peter Rogers MD has a short 1.5 minute video on dark chocolate products.

                    All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

                          That's cool that they don't contain lecithin! Thanks for sharing, very very rare find
