Good chocolate is healthy
“Even living in the tropics, there are many possibilities for diets rich in signal-disrupting substances, including iron, and in high latitudes there are opportunities for reducing our exposure to them. As a source of protein, milk is uniquely low in its iron content. Potatoes, because of the high quality of their protein, are probably relatively free of toxic signal-substances. Many tropical fruits, besides having relatively saturated fats, are also low in iron, and often contain important quantities of amino acids and proteins. In this context, Jeanne Calment's life-long, daily consumption of chocolate comes to mind: As she approaches her 121st birthday, she is still eating chocolate, though she has stopped smoking and drinking wine. The saturated fats in chocolate have been found to block the toxicity of oils rich in linoleic acid, and its odd proteins seem to have an anabolic action.”

Probably full of seed oils
😃 Gluten and seed oils are both bad, but seed oils are the Ethereum of the nutrition world.
Chocolate is a very good food.
But check the ingredients to make sure it has no vegetable/ seed oil in it.
Good quality chocolate has only milk fat and cocoa fat.

Chocolate is a good food .
Jeanne Calment the oldest woman ever to have lived, ate 1 kg a week.
Here.
Recommend chocolate milk as calcium is a lead, cadmium antagonist.

Copper
An essential mineral in the diet

One of the primary benefits of copper is its contribution to the production and maintenance of hair and skin color, as well as the elasticity of the skin and blood vessels. Additionally, copper is integral in protecting against certain types of free radicals, which are known to cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and various diseases.
Copper’s role in utilizing oxygen for the production of biological energy is another critical aspect of its importance. It plays a part in the metabolic processes that transform nutrients into energy, a fundamental requirement for all bodily functions.
Moreover, copper is essential for the normal functioning of certain nerve cells, particularly those in the substantia nigra, a region of the brain. The degeneration of these cells is a factor in Parkinson’s disease, suggesting that adequate copper levels could have neuroprotective effects.
With aging, the human body tends to lose copper while storing excess iron. This imbalance can lead to various health issues, as a deficiency in copper can cause a change in the shape, texture, and color of hair, among other symptoms. Too much iron in the body can block the absorption of copper, and conversely, insufficient copper can lead to excessive iron storage.
Best food sources are chocolate(cocoa), liver and shellfish.

The key to controlling what people think is controlling what they think about. The best control method is not to refute a claim but rather to get people to argue about a ridiculous false binary. Don’t make a person rethink their position; make them take it sideways a little at a time: not self-rule - Coservative or Labour; not armed citizens - gun control or school shootings; not sexual morality - abortion or pregnant 10-year-olds. People will say with a straight face that having one choice for a leader is tyranny, but having two choices is freedom.
By introducing a false binary, you can easily steer people to the next logical conclusion, like redirecting a river. You can’t make a river run uphill, but you can redirect it to irrigate your crops. For example: when a nation has one story, the citizens ask if it is true. When a nation has two stories, citizens ask which one is true. Isn’t that a neat magic trick?
