Twist my arm...:)
My aunt sent me a link from the BBC showing that preliminary research shows
that theobromine, found in good, dark chocolate and cocoa, is a cough suppressant. And since there's *also* research showing that women who eat chocolate in pregnancy have happier babies, well, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. So I've got cocoa to drink hot (no milk) and yummy trader-joe's organic truffles. They're medicine, I tell ya, medicine! Jenrose |

So I've got cocoa to drink hot (no milk) and yummy trader-joe's organic truffles. They're medicine, I tell ya, medicine! ;-) I've been eyeballing the dark Spanish hot chocolate at Zingermans. Here's the blurb: "This stuff gives new and very seriously sensual meaning to the words "hot chocolate." It is to standard issue hot cocoa what a cup of great Guatemalan coffee is to Maxwell House®. When you read about chocolate being the morning beverage of Renaissance royalty in Europe, this is what they were drinking. I know it’s hard to believe anything that good could come from a pre-packed mix, but it does. So thick, so chocolate-y, so intensely rich, it’s almost impossible to describe. If any beverage is better than sex, this is it. This is a huge hit every holiday, we always sell everything we can obtain— get yours quick. " I keep obsessing about it, but it's sold out! Arrrrgh! I should have succumbed earlier :-( Best wishes, Ericka |

I'm gonna go get some!!! I'm also eyeing on some PERNIGOTTI chocolates... :P I saw a brief report of the "chocolate in pregnancy ---happier baby" news in Fit Pregnancy magazine. That sure reduces a lot of guilts. Min |

That would explain why Gwendolyn is such a happy baby! ;-) I swear, I
had such the sweets cravings when I was pg with her, it was crazy! Hope the chocolate helps you feel better! (And I hope google doesn't eat this post - the beta version was posting things really quickly, and then not at all, sigh) Irene |

That study was reported here whilst I was pg with H and like the perfect mother I am (LOL) I consumed lots of good dark chocolate ... and lo and behold I got "Happy Harry" .... of course I also put on about 18 kgs whilst pregnant this time (which I've lost ...plus some).

I'm trying to mostly stick to lower fat versions of chocolate, although I do make an exception for the organic truffles because their cocoa content is so high (and they are *soo* tasty). Jenrose |

but almonds are so good for you
My inlaws gave each grownup child $50 giftcards to TJ's, so DH and I are so excited. I sense a tub of chocolate almond clusters in my very near future Kelly #4 2/12/05 "Jenrose" wrote in message news:1103175811.ee94ca3dd92cf1c4de242d00a0d4cde8@t eranews...
