I read about hormone headaches again and some of the food that triggers it, including chocolate. Then in another spot I read about the flavanoids in chocolate and why we should include chocolate in our diet. Can't stand up for fallin' down, can we? Bring on the M&Ms!

My greatest fear is
that there is no PMS and this is my personality!

Thanks Linda...feeling a little better today...I think it is on the way out. Sinuses are draining. Sorry to hear you had a couple of bouts with headaches too. I always thought summer was a healthy time, but doesn't seem to be this year.
Oh...no way am I going to give up chocolate and especially M&M's.

When in Costco last, I noticed a big bottle of gummy bear vitamins. My first (and probably wrong reaction)was that it was an awful idea. They look exactly like the gummy bear candy. I have read over and over that you should never refer to vitamins or medicine as candy and then they make these candy looking vitamins. Seems like a mixed message to me and a dangerous one.
So...if they can make candy looking vitamins, they should be able to make chocolate covered medicine for us. Hey, they already make viactive.

I went to the herbalist and she gave me an herbal blend that's doing wonders without giving me the horrible side effects. That's one of the things I love about Italy - pharmacists can recommend drugs, and herbalists are side by side with the pharmacists in every neighborhood.
On the candy-coated tylenol - people take tylenol too much and without thought already. They can really mess up your liver if you overdose and I can see folks ODing if they were chocolate-covered, thinking they're harmless... Icky. Besides - they'd probably use some *awful* wax-y chocolate...
Let's not make any excuses - if we want to eat chocolate - let's eat the good stuff on purpose!
