Natural cocoa is actually sweet by itself.Cocoa that is bitter have been roasted too long.Have you ever eaten cocoa beans where they are grown? They actually are sweet and have a fruity flavor when they are raw and not ripe.They look like pomegranite.To get the proper flavanoids from chocolate they must be grown in the proper environment and organicaly grown,picked at the right time and only slightly roasted.If roasted too much they become bitter.They have a sweet taste when not roasted too long and there is no need to add sugar to it.

Lately, I've been eating extremely dark chocolates, at 85% cacao. The less sugar in the chocolate, the more I crave it. This is why I now believe I am a protein type and not a carb type. Even though I may have to throw my Kashi Go Lean Crunch away, I now know that a high-fat diet is probably optimal for me, with nuts, seeds, healthy meats, and whatnot. I love a good steak or chicken and it sustains me. All the chocolate I eat is the healthiest variety and I do not worry about it causing problems. It is the most wonderful food in the world. Praise chocolate.
