its basic physics, eating chocolate adds more volume, and with the same amount of liquid occupying more volume; the liquid blood pressure becomes less.

I was just reading this article:

Research recently published in the British Medical Journal suggested that a daily meal of seven ingredients, which included 100g dark chocolate (along with fish, fruit, vegetables, almonds, garlic and 150ml wine) could cut the risk of coronary heart disease by a massive 76%.

Not sure why this was moved to chat. This story is on the Front Page of every news source I looked at.

Try no meat, fish, dairy or animal product, wine or oil for eight weeks.

Maybe this is why I am now with low blood pressure which once was with high blood pressure, addicted to Chocolate and having it for dessert often. No one is going to call it junk food anymore... probably.

I just knew if I was patient enough, I'd eventually have a semi-legitimate reason to post this picture.
