Guys learn early that chocolate gets you laid.
Yup...it hits the "love signals" in the brain.
I heart cocoa.
YAY!!! I knew there would come a day when chocolate was discovered to have health benefits. :-)
Mayor Nagin gave me a recipe for cocoa. It's a delicious drink.
My personal experience is that hot chocolate, with no added sugar, send my BP thru the roof.
When 1st diagnosed with high BP I was searching for a morning coffee alternative and tried hot cocoa. My BP went zooming upward. Cut the hot cocoa and it returned down to healthy levels.
I am the only woman I know that doesn't like chocolate. I like salty better than sweet. Pies, cakes have no temptation for me. The thought of candy makes me ill.
Maybe that's why I have such good luck with men! They know better than to give me candy!!
Why do Chocolate people suffer so much hypertension?
Lately, I've got a taking for these candy bars. Hersheys, Extra Dark with Cranberries, Blueberries, and Almonds.
It says on the back label:
The natural antioxidants found in tea and certain foods like barries and grapes can also be found in Hersheys Extra Dark.
I never cared for milk chocolate all that much, but I've always liked the bittersweet.
I'm sorry, I don't find this very funny.
I buy Ghiradelli's unsweetened cocoa to make hot chocolate. It's delicious since I don't have a sweet tooth either.
Supposedly, the difference between the standard, garden variety chocolate and the high-end top-shelf stuff is astounding.
But I'm a Dalwhinnie man myself, and already have enough bad habits!
Oh those are so good. I can't find them anymore after Christmas! Help!
Damn!! If you would have posted a pickle...I'd be yours!!
That certain Liberal Black mayors are Race-Baiting SOBS?
I don't find that funny either.... but it's certainly worthy of parody.
A bit thin skinned are we? You ain't seen nothing yet, newbie.
I'm not trying to attack you. This post was about certain components of cocoa that might be beneficial to high blood pressure. What I didn't find funny was you posting, IMHO, a racist remark when clearly there was nothing about race in the article. I understand that you were trying to make a funny remark and I simply responded that I did not find it humorous.
