Found this in today's online Chicago Tribune:
"Cocoa contains anti-inflammatory compounds called flavanols, substances that reduce both blood clotting and inflammation in the body. Enjoying a cup or two of hot cocoa per week can help reduce inflammation, particularly if its made with skim or low-fat milk to keep down the drinks content of saturated fats."
Nothing wrong with saturated fats.
My forebears all ate tons of the stuff, and most lived into their eighties, nineties, and hundreds.
I like my hot chocolate made with whole milk. I’ve tried it with skim milk, but it just makes me sad. I prefer being happy.
We may get our first frost tonight, so I’m looking forward to the cocoa in the morning.
