Fibromyalgia and Craving Chocolate?

A number of fibromyalgia sufferers are craving chocolate. There's a good reason for that. Cacao contains a high amount of magnesium! People, like in fibromyalgia, who lack magnesium are craving for chocolate.
In fact, chocolate craving is often a sign of magnesium deficiency. They don't teach that in med schools and your doctor most probably doesn't know about it but it's a fact!
The risk is the huge intake of sugar and calories explaining why we are a society of malnourished and obese people.
So, you're not at fault! You're just trying to compensate for your lack of magnesium.

  1. Well, there's another issue here. Why would anyone trade chocolate for a magnesium supplement?
