I Believe In Science

And why wouldn't I?  Feast your eyes on the latest scientific finding, courtesy of the New York Times:

EVIDENCE OF HEART BENEFITS FROM CHOCOLATE

I need a new drug...

Here's the money quote: "By many measures, consumption of chocolate was linked to lower rates of stroke, coronary heart disease, blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions."  Well, I say praise the Lord and pass the Hershey's!  Preferably with almonds...

    I agree with Ann. Almonds & dark chocolate and a glass of red wine. CARDIAC WIN.

    I think I read something about this a couple of years ago, which was why you saw a lot of extra-dark or special-dark chocolate on the store shelves. The sugar and fat tend to mitigate the benefits . . . almonds are healthy though.

    I'm not clicking the link, because it might argue against the "more chocolate = more benefits" theory I've got going here.

    You know, I bet the almonds add to the health benefits. I hear nuts are REALLY good for you, too.
