No, but it could be a balancing agent.  I have allot of what are called
'brain allerrgies' and I do tend to use chocolate and sugar to control
them(also Vit. C).  The chocolate only works marginally better than the
sugar and neither get me hyper or cause any other adverse affect (I don't
even gain weight -- even though I want to <frown>).  This is a typeical
multiple chemical sensitivity or environmetal illness response.  For you all
it means is that more than one system is involved in the reactiona nd they
have allot of learing to do yet before they find out for sure what is going
on.
  You are not crazy, this is typical for people with immune related
problems.
