Chocolate?
Vladik is a Polish
friend of mine who comes to visit, or calls me occasionally. He likes to share with me new-found reading
material that especially is provocative, or shall I say, introspective. As a gesture of friendship he offered me two
packets of the best European chocolate.
“Thanks so much,
Vladik, you’re kind.” In front of him I
looked at the ingredients.
“I hope it’s okay?” he
expressed with concern.
“Well, to be honest I
rarely take chocolate. It may have
caffeine—something we avoid.” I read
away on the packaging, “whey powder, milk, nuts, salt, sugar, coffee even. Boy oh boy!
This may not fly. Anyways, let me
google to see what some experts say about chocolate and how it affects the gout
I have.”
From my android came
the following: “Not only is chocolate a “miracle food” when it comes to gout
prevention but it also knocks down the inflammation of an active gout
flare… Dark chocolate that consists of
about 35% of cocoa is considered to be ideal for gout sufferers. This type of chocolate is more bitter than
the traditional sweet, milk or white…”
I was quite amazed by
the info on chocolate and so was Vladik and Vyasacharya who brought our Polish friend
in the first place. Vyasa immediately
offered to go to a bulk food place. He
returned in minutes with the dark chocolate with practically few ingredients. I indulged and took this food item as a
natural medicine.
Does or did it
work? I’ll let you all in on the outcome.
May the Source be with
you!
