Chocolate and health

by Gene on Dec. 25th, 2007

Good news for those of us who overindulged on chocolate over the holidays--it's actually good for you. Dark chocolate, anyway. In moderation. It helps blood flow and prevents clotting. Unfortunately, the chemicals that do that good stuff taste bitter. Many chocolate manufacturers take them out entirely, or cover up the taste with lots of sugar.
