Hi Harry, do you have celiac disease? For those who have it, eating gluten can cause a wide variety of symptoms, some pretty severe, depending on the sensitivity level of the person.

I don't know but I can ask my dad if he knows about it and thank you for telling me .

I was born with celiac and I never thought how sensitive it can be but can I ask if you had small of wheat in your body what is the worst case here ?

Yes! You're absolutely correct! Thanks @RMJ! Dutch processing (alkalization) does reduce the polyphenols! Do check the labels on cocoa powder and avoid those stating it has been through Dutch processing. Hershey's and Nestles don't use Dutch processing. Ghirardelli's does use Dutch processing.

Alkalization (Dutch processing) can reduce the amount of polyphenols in cocoa so what type of cocoa powder one uses could make a big difference to the results.
