How much chocolate is too much?
Firstly, the darker the chocolate the more Theobromine it contains.
According to About Chemistry based on the highest possible toxicity:
* Vetmedicine: Cooking chocolate contains 8-10 times the Theobromine in Milk Chocolate.
According to Wired large doses of theobromine may cause “nausea and anorexia ….. sweating, trembling and severe headache.”
The Royal Society of Chemistry notes that chocolate does not contain caffeine, but theobromine induces similar symptoms.
LD50 for the lethal dose for 50% of the population for Theobromine is:
1000 mg/kg 0r 1gm/kg of body weight in humans
