Chocolate is good for you!
Now there’s a headline which turns the head - I ignore most of the “scare” stories which tend to suggest that anything enjoyable like cheese, salt, alcohol etc are bad for you. But the Independent (15 Nov 06) headline caught my attention!
A study in the US found concluded that
snacking on just two tablespoonfuls of dark chocolate a day reduced the development of potentially fatal blood clots.
The survey was designed to identify the impact of giving up things like chocolate - but of the 1200 people enrolled on the survey 139 (11%) could not give up chocolate - and this result is a side-effect of the original trial.
Another discovery in the article is The Chocolate Society (is there a society for everything?) - a great indulgence for chocoholics - information, recipes, ideas (Chocolate and Fine Wine Masterclass!) and online purchases - see www.chocolate.co.uk
