GOOD NEWS FOR CHOCOHOLICS - CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU!
Medical study offers medical reason to eat chocolate:
Dark variety seems to aid blood vessels, but binging still bad.
MUNICH, Germany — There’s more good news for chocolate lovers. Scientists
have found that eating dark chocolate appears to improve the function of
important cells lining the wall of blood vessels for at least three hours.
The study, involving 17 healthy young volunteers who agreed to eat a bar of dark
chocolate and then get an ultrasound, found that eating dark chocolate seemed to
make the blood vessels more flexible, which helps prevent the hardening of the
arteries that leads to heart attacks.

But experts cautioned that the weight gain from eating a lot of chocolate
probably would cancel out the apparent benefit.
