Hi Jane, Is it the sugar in the chocolate?? After all, Parkinson's so often brings about lowered sugar levels somehow.... so that we PWP's in particular, among groups of people with various diseases, are almost like diabetics... nearly all of us seem to crave sugar.....and what good would chocolate be if left unsweetened anyhow? And now, here is a Chemistry Story of the Day This could be a fact, but at this point let's call it a guess) WHY PWP's HAVE A NEED FOR SUGAR Hmmm, low dopamine = low adrenaline (made from dopamine building blocks) = high insulin (usually inhibited by adrenaline) = low sugar in bloodstream! Well what do you think, Jane( or anyone)?
