Chocolate is, again, good for you
-
I'm probably the minority in this opinion but I find non-dark chocolate so disgustingly sweet that it completely overloads my taste buds making me literally feel ill in the mouth. How do people enjoy that stuff?! X|
No idea, to be honest. I'm one of those odd souls who doesn't really like chocolate at all.

Don't forget people - this is referring to nasty bitter dark chocolate they "enjoy" on the continent, not Mars bars :)
The thing is, all US chocolate is too sweet, and not chocolately enough. Our milk chocolate is probably bitter and strong to you. Having said that, I love dark chocolate, way better than milk.

Well, if "eating just 30 calories a day of dark chocolate a day can help lower blood pressure" then imagine how healthy we'll be eating 10 times that amount! Mark

Small amount of chocolate lowers blood pressure[^] Chocolate lovers have one more reason to celebrate. It seems that eating just 30 calories a day of dark chocolate a day can help lower blood pressure, without weight gain or other side effects, according to a new study.

Supposedly, Hershey started out making milk chocolate with milk that was somewhat... off. Now, of course, that's their signature, so they can't change it... :rolleyes:

Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?

I read that - the 'small amount' is one square. Like I can eat just one square.

Well said the rubbish that's labelled as chocolate in the UK is just that. The EU tried to get it re-labelled as it doesn't qualify a real chocolate, "family-chocolate" was the ridiculous moniker they came up with, anyhow big business won out and even though it's not it's still called chocolate. Some wonderful chocolate comes out of northern Italy, Liguria.

30 calories? That's a homeopathic dosage, right?

Caffeine is good;P Seriously though, funny I workout a lot, and the debate seems to seesaw wether caffeine is good and you should take suplements, to bad. Looks like some good some bad. Small amounts give slight increase to metabolism and heart rate, which will reduce your weight. Large amounts will mess up your hormones leading to the pregnant women body composition. You'll pack on fat and lose muscle. Budda say 'seak the middle path'.

I thought that has been the consensus for quite a while now :-D, but more evidence for dark chocolate goodness is good!

Don't call dark chocolate nasty! Dark chocolate (~75-80% cocoa) is far superior to that stuff they call chocolate in candy stores. :-D You can really appreciate the deep flavour of the cocoa when enjoyed in a high-quality dark chocolate. Mind you it's not the kind of thing one would binge on. A little goes a long way.
