I read more about this study somewhere else, unfortunately I can't remember where. They were saying it must be dark, not milk chocolate, and only from certain kinds of cocoa beans. Belgian and German dark chocolates were almost all the right kind, Hershey's and most American brands were not.They also emphasized that you should cut the clories from somewhere else if you add chocolate.

I actually took this study to heart, and have been eating a little piece of imported dark chocolate every day. Most pleasant health thing I've tried.

You will also notice that a fine chocolate tells your pallet that you don't need more. A small piece will satisfy. Fine dark chocolates also match well with many fine red wines. And as for how well it matches with a fine cup of espresso(the only real way to drink coffee), one needs to find that out on their own. Words cannot describe.

Milk chocolate, filtered cigarettes, lite beer, drip coffee, margarine, half and half, non dairy creamer, drive up windows, and factory produced meats are illnesses Americans developed. Items made for the sole reason to get you to eat more, get fat, and smoke twice as much.

Science finally caught up with me. I don't eat candy except imported Swiss or German dark or bittersweet choc bars, Dove choc ice cream bars with dark choc coating, and Fanny May creams coated with dark choc.

Hershey's dark chocolate bars are like biting into lardified frisbees.

(Once in a while, I do indulge in a Fanny May root beer barrel, yum yum.
