I did not see this earlier. All I can say is way, way too much information.PeterB wrote:Why not indeed...without wanting to get too graphic, I find a little chocolate aids a certain vital function in the removal of solid waste. My gut likes it, and in fact the literature says that it "promotes a smooth peristaltic action " all that AND it tastes good.

Chocolate is effective against too soft stool, btw, not the other way round.

I don't believe anyone made those suggestions. You posted that you had weight control issues:PeterB wrote:I like chocolate. I dont want to not want chocolate ..thanks all the same. Sheesh!

Given that, I thought you might appreciate a heads up to a potential way to satisfy your chochlate cravings with fewer calories.PeterB wrote:Anyhoo back to the topic....I have constant weight issues...but enjoy a bit of chocolate now and then without feeling the need to self flagellate or wring my hands afterwards.
In reading the scriptures, there are two kinds of mistakes:
One mistake is to cling to the literal text and miss the inner principles.
The second mistake is to recognize the principles but not apply them to your own mind, so that you waste time and just make them into causes of entanglement.
