Good job. I think that the important thing is to teach people with questions that the Word of Wisdom is a minimum standard, and 'worthiness' is dependent upon following the letter of the law; however, the spirit of the law is take care of your body, and there are plenty of things above and beyond the "4 don'ts" that you can choose to do to make your body happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-57861551614770643652009-03-19T22:02:00.000-04:002009-03-19T22:02:00.000-04:00Portia Says: Chocolate is a food group.Portia Says: Chocolate is a food group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-81603628627934709212009-03-19T13:14:00.000-04:002009-03-19T13:14:00.000-04:00Best blog ever.

They're just not the same. You could even throw soda in there for comparison because it even has a higher content of caffiene than chocolate.ReLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408648962903216798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-44158472256338510852009-03-19T09:53:00.000-04:002009-03-19T09:53:00.000-04:00Hmmmm...chocolate.

Now that's the way to win friends and influence enemies:)<BR/><BR/>I think I'll pick up more tomorrow...sale ends March 31:)<BR/><BR/>Good to know that no matter how much chocolate I eat, I won't get the jitters, maybe sick to my stomach, but not the jitters:) Nice research, Kelley!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702029497867763770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-8818956110289287912009-03-18T11:14:00.000-04:002009-03-18T11:14:00.000-04:00Well the gist of the numbers is that no matter if ...Well the gist of the numbers is that no matter if chocolate is consumed in very small or massive quantities, there isn't medical evidence that it effects the human body because the caffeine (and theobromine) content is so low. There is actually more caffeine in many common OTC medications than in chocolate. <BR/>Congrats on going 6 years!

I don't eat it(chocolate free for 6 years now, okay minus white chocolate but I don't eat that very often...it just doesn't call to me), but I don't care if other people do,in fact I bake things w/chocolate in them for my family. I don't eat it for a couple of reasons: 1. when I do, I can't seem to control the amount that I consume(meaning, I eat way too much) and 2. chocolate, makes me very emotional. Maybe it's the caffeine or the theobromine , I don't know. But what I do know is that when I eat it, I tend to cry, overreact, etc. So, I've decided to take chocolate out of my life...and I really haven't suffered from it. Though, I still eat lots of other sweets.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169046988621394543noreply@blogger.com
