Compound W from Sheldon Brown's site contains sugar...

Green & Black's or Lindt Excellence 85% don't contain very much...

G&B is, IIRC, about 70% cocoa mass so there's more room for sugar in
that than the Lindt. I like my chocolate and in general prefer higher
cocoa masses, but the Lindt 85% is proof to my taste buds at least that
you really /can/ have too much of a good thing.

High quality cooking chocolate is usually very high cocoa mass as well,
and usually has less sugar.

Boots (and thorntons) do 'sugar free' chocolate which is really sucrose free
as it does contain other sugars. You may have noticed Rachel enjoying some
on the Tour du Holyrood.

I'll have to look out for the Lindt 85%.

I once got some 100% chocolate from Harvey Nichols. It was /very/
expensive. Not really something to eat by itself but pure heaven when
dunked in coffee.

Can't remember the make (not a Harvey Nicks own brand), but google for
100% cocoa and you'll get a few results.

Both are extremely dangerous - tests on dogs proved nearly 100% fatal
when given in only modest quantities. For your own health and as a
public service, if you send all you have to me I will ensure it is
properly disposed of.

I've had 99% (from the chocolate club) ... in fact I've still got some
of it, which tells all you need to know about the flavour. I like 85%
but prefer 70%.

I mostly eat Asda's 50%, which is the cheapest I've found per unit cocoa.

ANY chocolate is poisonous for ANY dog, except the purpose made
'doggie' chocolate ............. which is not chocolate ..........

Where and when exactly was this research carried out??

Tony'd disposal methods are not safe. Send to me and I will dispose of without
dribbling ;-)

Choose the timing carefully. For example, the day after Easter Monday, all the
unsold chocolate bunnies go on sale at half price

Also, any festival that would involve loud noise and standing around in the cold
in the UK is replaced, in Switzerland, by a festial that involves eating rich
food and tamping it down with a few kilos of chocolate in the shape of something
unusual.

I have never once gone out for a Sunday ride without wondering whether getting a
triple for the road bike would be a good idea.

Actually, to tell the truth, all the hilliest bits around Geneva are over the
border. Not that I know which side of the border I'm on from moment to
moment....

No, but I'm prepared to sacrifice myself for the public good ;-)
