...dark chocolate ingestion over a short period of time

The portion of the story likely not registering in the minds of chocoholics.

8 ounces (227 grams)

What should be the proper dose of Hersheys dark chocolate bar? 8 oz seems excessive.

Excessive?

To whom?

Well, if it's all in one bite, it might be excessive.

I've long wondered that myself since these chocolate-is-healthful-studies first trickled out a couple yrs ago. I've only heard references to "a small amount" and the like. I'm still trying to nail it down.

There's actually a company that caters to consumers seeking beneficial chocolate: http://www.cocoavia.com/

Interesting business concept, IMO.

If it is cocoa beans there may be no limit, but if it is chocolate bars there may be reasonable limits because of the other ingredients.

Well, I think that there are synergies between high quality chocolate and cardiovascular benefits of alcohol. More specifically, dark chocolate truffles go well with cognac.

The breakfast of champions.

BTW my curiosity got the best of me and I ran down to CVS (there's one on every block here) and picked up a package of the cocovia chocolate covered almonds. Let me just say, I've found them exquisite. You don't miss the copious amounts of added sugar at all.

Try Cemoi truffles from www.candydiscounters.com. [to be ordered during the cooler season as you do not want to pay extra for the cold delivery]. Affordable, and very good, but french-made.
