    Salvation? - A Chocolate Bar with NO Sugar!

    I was in my local health food shop; Honest to Goodness (which is amazing - I spend a small fortune in there every week). I’d got to know the owners really well and we were have a good old chat and candida came up in the conversation.

Yes and no, its not that simple. Candida is produced naturally in the body and small amounts are present in your mouth and in your intestines.
