Quote:
"Lots of people believe a particular diet, or cutting out certain foods – such as red wine, sugar and chocolate – has helped their arthritis. The problem is that what works for one person doesn’t work for someone else. And the power of the placebo – mind over matter, needs to be taken into account."
Do you mean rheumatoid arthritis OR osteoarthritis?
Quite the opposite....there is evidence to suggest that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate may RELIEVE some of the symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis.
