i think my body is a chocolate snob

chocolate flavored things are just no substitute for the real thing. I love cadburys and galaxy. Not too keen on lindt though and thats supposed to be one of the best you can get.

If that's an allergy, it's the weirdest allergic reaction I've ever heard of. Stomach aches/nausea and dizzy/fainting are two completely different reactions. You may not be able to handle the fat content in chocolate or even fake chocolate (the fake stuff probably has even more fat than the real stuff) which could cause the stomach problems but, if you feel faint without having breathing problems, that may just be psychological. If you ate it expecting you might have a reaction, your brain could have caused these problems without it having anything to do with what you ate, at least as far as the dizziness/faint feeling is concerned. Have you searched online for any connection between chocolate/fake chocolate and the symptoms you had? There may be something that I've never heard of. Now, as for me having any weird reaction to chocolate, uhh, no, the only reaction I have is a big, cheesy grin on my face and a really happy brain.

A while back I read an article about "vanillin" which is an imitation vanilla, and they use vanillin in some brands of chocolates. I can't remember exactly what the article said, but apparently some people will have a reaction from it (like headaches). Yah, the cheaper chocolates are sort of waxy - it doesn't really melt in your mouth just right. That being said, I will just about eat any chocolate - hee hee.

Nope, I'm a big foodie and regular to my excercises and yoga, to remain fit and healthy :) And sports too ;) And I really believe that yoga, excercise and sports are so good for a healthy body not just in terms of looks and good shape but also in terms digestion and health.
