Mike is allergic to all things milk, specifically whey. There are many things he has never been able to taste. Chocolate is one of them. BUT, we have made an amazing discovery! He is able to eat dark chocolate. How can this be?
In researching and asking around, I have found that chocolate is actually diluted with milk in order to make it light and creamy. However, the darker the chocolate, the less milk is added and only pure cocoa remains. Cocoa does not contain lactose or whey. So, for those of you lactose intolerant, try dark chocolate, the darker the better. Mike has even been able to try Godiva's dark chocolate decadence blended iced mocha with no harmful reactions. Thank God I love dark chocolate too! I couldn't live without that in my diet ;)
