Mari,
Everyone I know who has given up caffeine has had a problem with headaches.
Honestly, I never thought about the possibility that it was because we're raised on the processed brands like Folgers and Maxwell House.
From this and other posts of yours, it seems like you are very much into the organic scene and have been for a while. Could this be the reason that the regular red wines and the black teas gave you headaches? Because your body was used to the good stuff and when you drank the regular red wine your body said "I don't think so."? Of course my problems with red wine would not be due to how it is made, but how much I drink of it. :-)
I know personally that every time I try to give up or severely limit my caffeine intake, I get very bad migraines. But I am usually drinking processed brands, like Folgers.
Oh, and as for chocolate, of ANY kind, if you want to have any for yourself, don't get me within 20km of it. I'll levitate it right into my mouth. I have a kind of synergy with chocolate. I eat all I can and it promises to taste really good and wait about 2 days before it adds 10 pounds to my waistline. :-) Very synergistic.
