    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.

    cheers, Chris Maunder

      Don't forget people - this is referring to nasty bitter dark chocolate they "enjoy" on the continent, not Mars bars :)

      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.
