"... blood pressure and an anti-clotting effect comparable to that of aspirin. ... higher antioxidant levels in their blood and less of the bad LDL-cholesterol. ...antibacterial agents in chocolate may help prevent tooth decay."
But chocolate is in no way a health food, says Bonnie Liebman, nutrition director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington.
Bonnie, the public is not interested in you in the least. Just go away! The evidence is in!
Chocolate forever!

I believe that the healthiest way to eat is to stick to the four basic food groups...
Chocolate cake
Chocolate ice cream
Chocolate milk
Chocolate candy

June 2006: ".....the Public Interest (CSPI), headed by radical vegan and bummer of a guy Michael Jacobson, is making noise about going after Starbucks. It seems that Starbucks serves drinks and foods that are high in fat. And apparently people who order coffee with caramel syrup and whipped cream, and pastries, need to be told via signs and food labels that they are killing themselves if they drink and eat Starbucks products. What's even worse is that Starbucks offers their employees unlimited coffee and leftover pastries during their shifts."

Dark-chocolate sales are soaring, rising 42 percent over the last five years
42%, hmmmm. We can't let this slide, no way, we need a Chocolate Sin Tax, like cigs. Say ... 100% - to start.

I eat some dark chocolate but eat more regular milk chocolate. I love my Goo Goo Clusters, O'Henry bars, and even those white Zeros. Zagnuts of toasted coconut have gotten hard to find but I love those too.
As for the big dark chocolate bars, I like Hershey as well as the various European varieties.

This so called "non-profit" stays busy and "profitable" running around and suing companies that they don't happen to like... They are affiliated with PETA and get mucho funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation -- and the goal is not "public health" (nor do they use science) but rather to destroy the hospitality industry as we know it.

I like the Scarffen Berger 80% dark the best, but the Dagoba 72% will do in a pinch. One of the best things about dark chocolate is that my husband doesn't like it, so he no longer gets into my "stash" :D

Lindt make a 99% chocolate bar. It is lovely.
I don't know if they sell it outside Germany, though.

Love dark chocolate - I just hope that some of these companies aren't just taking their milk chocolate and adding coloring and flavoring to make "dark" chocolate...
