I had been eating 65% dark chocolate but I wanted to cut calories and despite a sweet taste I didn't crave it.
Now that I am in my fourth year Alzheimers I am trying to follow more of the ReCode recommendations

2- "Alcohol can be a part of a healthy diet" p 174
3- "For men moderation is two drinks a day (a drink is 5 oz. wine
1.5 oz of liquor (one shot), 12 oz of beer.)
4- "some studies indicate there are some adverse effects from acohol consumption. Alcohol consumed even in moderate quantites has been linked with negative brain health outcomes in some people. And therein lies the difference: in some people.
