Yes, cocoa is readily available here. I'm a bit of a tea freak too, ebby! And coffee as I mentioned before is kept to a minimum

I've heard about the cocoa but without the sugar??? I've been reading lately about the relationship between calcium deficiency & HBP. How prevalent is HBP in India and how often is milk drunk? Yes, loose all that aluminum... not good for the bod!

That usually depends on who paid for the "medical study"
