EAT MORE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!.....................
A lot of “dark chocolate” actually has very little dark chocolate. Actual dark chocolate is rather tart in flavor.
So, next time I order my milk chocolate - peanut clusters and/or some of those Turtles, can I start getting a Medical Discount? Maybe there are online Doctors, available 24)7 who will write me a Prescription for Chocolate!
Take 3 chocolate nut clusters 3 times a day, as needed for Sugar Fever.

But dark choc. is bringing back my gout — been clean for 10 years now.
Trust the science!

Interesting. Thanks for posting, Red Badger.
But I wonder. Is it the chocolate itself that’s doing the trick, or is it something else that is reducing chocolate eaters’ diabetes risk?
For example, maybe they’re eating less sugary dark chocolate instead of very sugary candy bars. So it’s a sugar thing, not a chocolate thing.
My husband loved dark chocolate, the darker the better - often to the point of bitterness. I hate it, so he’d buy me milk chocolate. No wonder I fight my weight every day - and he never did.
Harvard is a real college now?
It does but it doesn’t. OK, then...
A 10% risk reduction or increase in an epidemiological study is absolutely MEANINGLESS!
Showing my age, but I was taught a two-fold change MIGHT mean you were on to something and further research warranted. Anything less was simply statistical noise.
For example: Compared with nonsmokers, smokers have as much as a 30-fold increased risk of developing cancer. THAT is meaningful by itself. 3,000% increased risk is SOMETHING.
10%? Not worth the toilet paper it would take to wipe one’s butt!
How much will not eating any chocolate reduce your risk of diabetes?
Ok, good for the women. Now do the study with bacon.
FAT UNHEALTHY PEOPLE PREFER MILK CHOCOLATE

“cacao generates environmental impacts which fuel climate change as a result of the production of chocolate following the production of the raw material cacao, which also exerts a net negative carbon footprint”

Greta says no dark chocolate for you! It’s for ze elites only.
Good news for me, I love dark chocolate.
I always wonder who paid for the study and how do they make money from the conclusions. But if dark chocolate substitutes for other stuff and reduces the total sweet intake it might work.
Organic cacao powder. Aldi Moser 85% chocolate bars. Trader Joe’s 500g 72% bar. My best chocolate sources.
