Dark Chocolate: A Bittersweet Pill to Take - First Coast News

Well I enjoyed putting up the recent articles about the health benefits of chocolate but in the interests of balance I really felt that I should put this one up too.

It points out quite rightly that the studies were all small and mostly were using specially formulated chocolate bars rather than the stuff you can buy in the local shop.

I still think that a small amount (small being the operative word here) of very high cocoa mass dark chocolate is likely to be good for you. The very dark chocolate also has the advantage of being so rich in flavour that you don't need to eat a large amount of it.
