Choclate
This book you are reading; is it fiction or medical. I drink lots of cocoa and and wonder if I drink too much. Does your book offer competent medical info on my concern. I had bypasses and aortic valve replacement 16 months ago, but I am not suggesting cocoa has any relation to heart health. It would be nice if it did. I was wondering if I ate too much onion to flavor my bland grain-legume dishes one year ago and my Doctor said "garlic is good for your heart in a German study and I would like to eat more, but my patients object." I just planted 600 onion sets Monday--I will not be able to use 2 per day in 2001-2002, but they are easy to grow! I am also growing a dozen other onion cultivars and relatives plus 6 kinds of garlic. Harold Eddleman
--- In BypassSurgeryRecoverySupport@y..., Harold Eddleman <indbio@d... This book you are reading; is it fiction or medical. Hi Harold This is a best selling fiction book and there is now a film of the book starring Johnny Depp and Juliet Binoche. It is the story of a woman and her daughter who move into a small town in France and open a shop selling hand made chocolates and chocolate drinks and cakes. It makes you hungry just reading it! I was just trying to be a little light hearted - and I have to admit to being a bit of a chocaholic anyway! Garlic is very good for you I believe! Best wishes Jenny
To Harold Eddleman: Chocolate (and cocoa) could cause heart rhythm irregularities (e.g. 'flutter') in large amounts. Because of the caffeine - like substances therein. R egards Harold (2)
