  1. just how much oxalic acid is in chocolate? i heard it
    inhibits calcium absorption, and i had SERIOUS symptoms of a
    calcium deficiency shortly after embarking on a diet
    consisting almost entirely of chocolate donuts.

    chocolate - 117 mg. per 100 gram.

    Cacao beans have 5000 ppm. oxalic acid.

    But if you ate like that for very long you probably had more
    than a calcium deficiency.

    Ora

  3. Oxalate in chocolate is present mainly as insoluble calcium oxalate
    hence niether the calcium nor its associated oxalate are available

    Do you have a reference for calcium oxalate in chocolate? I
    know it contains oxalic acid but could not find a reference
    for calcium oxalate per se.

    Thanks.
