Benefits of Chocolate

  1. "A new study credits the trendiest topics in food science - inflammation and gut microbes - with eating dark chocolate." John Finley, food scientist

    The microbes in our intestines are said to feast upon the fiber and antioxidants in dark chocolate, turning them into compounds that have an anti-inflammatory effect on the heart.  Who needs a better reason to enjoy dark chocolate?!  I love dark chocolate-covered almonds from Trader Joe's.  Family members are so aware of this that I am often gifted with a container of them.  Yum.  A few in the evening curbs that craving for sweets that often comes to people in the evening hours.
