Interesting, I know dark chocolate (70%Cocoa) low in sugar, is also good for many reasons including the heart. I thought milk chocolate was full of fat and sugar. Was this article made by the chocolate manufactors?? I just went to my doc, and told no more coffee or chocolate, dark or milk......aging, aaargh!!

My posting was really tongue in cheek. There is so much "research" out there that is widely proclaimed without being checked by others for repeatability. My understanding is that the 'dark chocolate' study was a very small group--as in under 50 people--and has not been replicated, but we love the sound of research deciding things we like are good for us. Now if only research would find that liver and cooked spinach were dangerous . . .

I am sure you can find anything you LOVE to be good for you in some way...just depends on the way right?

Chocolate...makes me happy and less depressed (that is why I have to eat a ton of it!)

Sugar...gives me energy (even if it does eventually turn to fatter thighs)

Mashed potatoes...make feel good and have memories of my grandma (and bigger thighs)

See all my feel good foods have health benefits! LOL.

Red wine is good for my heart and cholesterol and helps me sleep while like SAM dark chocolate is a mood enhancer. Look at all the money I'm saving by not having to buy Lipitor, Xanax and Prozac, LOL!
