It's important to note that, though many foods contain evil-sounding
chemicals, those chemicals are just names we have assigned to organic
compounds we've analyzed. Caffeine is one of many chemicals that happen to
exist in the non-poisonous plant kingdom.

Dark chocolate (truly "dark", that is around 60%+ cacao bean solids) has
recently come to the spotlight has being a beneficial health food and not
really a candy. Yet its chemical analysis appears horrifying, having over
500 different organic chemicals (try chomping on cocoa nibs...it doesn't
taste so good). But it's still a plant food and has proven benefits to
humans who ingest it regularly.
