Bad news. However, an attempt at critical analysis...

Is the author writing about the stuff I use (organic) or all the rest, 
which is known to be poisoned?

Author makes a mistake, "It is sometimes claimed that the amount of 
chocolate found in cacao is negligible" , dead wrong; there is no 
chocolate in cacao.

"It is, however, a powerful stimulant, and when ingested will inspire a 
vast range of physiological responses in the body, as the human organism 
attempts to neutralize, process, and eliminate these poisons."
So how come I don't notice this? I am unfortunately very sensitive to 
nasties in food and drink.

Millions of people eat cacao in the form of chocolate, some because of 
sugar addiction, but there is the well-known magnesium deficiency, and 
cacao is a rich source of magnesium.

We are drowning in a flood of incessant propaganda to the effect that we 
are too stupid to know what is good for us, and must believe and obey 
the experts: gurus/teachers/doctors/priests/politicians/"scientists"/etc.
IMO this sorry crew is mostly composed of proven liars trying to 
maintain their power and increase their income at our expense.

Cacao might be just one more intelligent answer to life in the neolithic.

Didn't we do chocolate not too long ago?
