Dark Chocolate Could Save Your Life

Study after study are proving that dark chocolate is one of the best foods you can eat. And gosh, it tastes good, too. Let's see, brussle sprouts or chocolate? beets or chocolate?

Don't take my word for it. Yale University Says it:

OCTOBER 20, 2005 -- HERSHEY, Pa. -- Eating dark chocolate can result in short-term improvements in arterial function and blood pressure, according to a new study conducted at Yale University's Prevention Research Center and funded by The Hershey Co. here.

"This is the latest study to suggest a link between dark chocolate, which contains natural flavanol antioxidants, and health benefits," said Dr. David Katz, associate professor of public health at Yale, and director of the Prevention Research Center, who conducted the study. "The dark chocolate tested in this trial improved blood pressure and arterial function. This clearly suggests that dark chocolate isn't just good; it's good for you."

Two servings a day. That is the prescription from Dr. Kirk.
