Nuts, in general, are also pretty high in arginine, which triggers latent viruses. Example: if you're prone to cold sores, eating nuts can trigger them. Lysine neutralizes the arginine, thereby starving the cells so the cold sores won't form.
New word. Looked it up. Found out it's not a word but an acronym. Here I'll share what I found for any others who have never seen it:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) = fatty acids that contain more than one double bond in their backbone. This class includes many important compounds, such as essential fatty acids and those that give drying oils their characteristic property.

Dark chocolate is great but not a ton of zinc for sourcing zinc, better off going for any kind shellfish especially oysters.
I consume copious amounts of dark chocolate (88%+) because of the resveratrol/polyphenols.
