A member asked:
Is it safe for a stroke victim to eat chocolate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, As Long As....: As long as the stroke did not leave the victim with difficulty in swallowing, which would make all oral intake problematic, there should be no issue with moderate chocolate intake. Caloric and dietary restrictions relative to other conditions like diabetes could restrict chocolate intake as well.
