Default Portrait of a COCOA ABUSER

A certain person who shall remain nameless wrote:

Of course a lot of chocolate bars do have extreme amounts of sugar,

but I
think this is for a different reason. It's important to distinguish

between
a *chocoholic* and a *sugar-holic* whose favourite delivery format for


sugar happens to be chocolate.


A theory that sounds reasonable, on the surface, but if you read
further this person also says:

Do you live in the USA? Chocosphere (http://www.chocosphere.com)

carries
both the Cluizel 99% and the Lindt 85%. You might also want to give

the
Slitti 100% a try as well, although IMHO it's a little below the

Cluizel.

The 85% cacao bar that I described is called "Lindt Excellence
Edlelbitter".


You got really lucky, because that's the best of the 85% bars and

another
of the great chocolates of the world. Typically Lindt is merely OK,

not
great, but in this bar they seem to have outdone themselves.


85% and above is not chocolate. This person is addicted to COCOA.
Chocolate is a confection made from cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, and
flavor additives such as vanilla. Pure or nearly pure cocoa is not
chocolate. This person is in denial about his COCOA ADDICTION.

The difference between a 77% (or less) bar and 85% is that there
is no sweetness at 85%. You may as well be injecting it directly
into a vein.
