Thank you Ocean for providing this very helpful information especially about “The Trouble with Dairy.” I’ve had an addiction to dairy–especially cheeses–most of my life. I did give up liquid milk and cream back in 2001 because it gave me Asthma, and I did cut way back on all other dairy goods too after that. However, this year (2026) I took back eating large amounts of cheeses and meat in order to greatly increase my protein and calcium intake to delay the onset of osteoporosis; I now have Osteopenia. I have been hearing from so many health experts for so many years about how detrimental dairy is to our health, but I think your article is the first one I’ve read that said dairy can cause Eczema which I have had for about 4 years now. It’s worth giving up the dairy to try and clear up the Eczema and many other troubling conditions (pre-diabetes, sleep apnea, fatigue, depression, obesity) that would likely be alleviated or eliminated. It won’t be easy but I feel I owe it to myself to see how much better I might feel and do by giving up these problem foods. Thanks again!

Jessica, well put and I totally agree. I buy 90% or 92%. I also use raw organic cacao powder that I put in muesli and oatmeal, with lots of other yummy stuff.

You’re forgetting the very best option, the one analyzed in the studies you reference: dark chocolate! Pick a beautiful single-origin bar, and you’ll likely find a few squares offers a better bliss boost than a sugary treat and a smoother energy boost than a cup of coffee. Cacao is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, so at 70% or higher, chocolate packs a potent nutritional punch. No need to turn this kind of chocolate into anything else.

Thank you so much for these they really made my day.! It’s such a wonderful feeling that I can eat healthily without sacrificing chocolate.
However I am banana phobic, I really can’t stand the things!!!, So please where possible give an alternative to using bananas, if you can’t miss them out all together.

I make sweet potato brownie batter or brownies, or black beans and chocolate too. My favorite is chickpea chocolate chip cookie dough or cookies

I just Love a simple chocolate. Raw cacao powder with raw vanilla and dates. That is it!! You can add raw cacao nibs and chopped almonds.
