Ack! I shouldn't have opened this thread. Now I've had to go make myself some coconut oil chocolates. Oh well.

Depending on what edition you have, there are some variations in this list. When Dr. A first wrote the book (in 1972), there were foods we commonly use now that wouldn't even have been on the radar screen. For example, commercial protein powders, coconut oil (specifically), flaxseed meal. For that matter, "shortening" and "margerine" WERE on the list--now notoriously discredited as evil hydrogenated fats.

Chocolate isn't on either list--obviously Dr. A wasn't a chocoholic. But this was way before sugar alcohols, many choices of artificial sweeteners, and designer chocolates.

In any case, YMMV. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I hear a bit of chocolate calling my name.
