In the news, from Dutch researchers this past Monday :
Men who consumed the most cocoa had a 50 percent lower risk of dying from disease compared to those who did not eat cocoa.
So I should eat more chocolate… I don’t have a problem with that!
Here’s an official news article.

Referencing an earlier post concerning the food pyramid, why isn’t chocolate on the FDA’s version. Their food pyramid is useless indeed! If I wasn’t filing a lawsuit before (see my earlier comments), I am now. Our gov’t. has the audacity to withhold this valuable info from us. I’d like to smear chocolate syrup in those FDA dudes’ faces. That’ll show ’em what’s good for ’em!

I noticed one of the headlines of that news article says chocolate “seems to lower older men’s risk of death”.
Uhh… I imagine the risk of death is still near 100% regardless of what you do… 🙂

i’m uncovered some very important near-factual information…
what the report says is that if you eat chocolate you have a “50 percent lower risk of dying from disease ”
what they dont tell you is that if you DO eat chocolate you have a 75% more of gaining immense weight, getting stuck in your chair and thus be unable to open a window, causing the individual to die of severe complications resulting from extreme methane inhalation.

My cat used to sneak up on the counter and eat chocolate and he’s dead now.
