Did you read the article, Viv?

A major study is being launched to see whether the nutrients in dark chocolate can help prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Research has already shown that cocoa flavanols taken as pills can improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels and the body’s use of insulin.
However the nutrients are often destroyed in the processing of making chocolate.

 

I will take the risk Gael!

Why is it that advice changes every week; did you see the article in the Mail the other day, which was 10 things to do to stay healthy?

Eat butter, drink red wine, eat chocolate, etc, I felt so much better?

You're preachin to the choir here with me, a chocoholic.:lol:
 
Yep, the ingredients in cocoa have long been known to be beneficial, but without the sugar . . . well, that's just a bitter pill to swallow...

Tell me about it. I've been taking dark chocolate for it's benefits. It's bitter but it eases my chocolate cravings anyway.

People who know I love chocolate will often give me some run-of-the-mill stuff and I'm politely thankful. But, we're talkin' REAL chocolate, here. The good stuff!
