Yet another health benefit has been linked to eating chocolate: It may decrease your risk of stroke, a new study suggests.

So, enjoy your chocolate and have a happy Valentine's Day.
WAHOO! Love Chocolate!
Domino’s Pizza has some chocolate lava cakes which would be quite healthy to order asap. lol!
..report came just in time
Yep, you told me and that’s good because I ate a whole lot of it tonight.

I must be psychic because I already thought chocolate lowered the risk of strokes. Then again, I tell myself anything I wanna hear and it’s worked so far. heh heh
LOL. You’re beginning to make sense to me!
I’d better see a shrink....
Actually there is a form of chocolate that can be termed healthy. It is a dark chocolate that is unprocessed powder or cold processed instead of the normal heat processing which destroys 50-75% of the antioxidants. Also, it doesn’t have refined sugar, waxes, preservatives or any other of the bad things.
The good thing is, there are a large number of studies in the main stream medical journals which support this.
Here are a couple of sites for those who are interested.

It’s getting better and better.
These studies are showing us how the flavonoids actually are producing the great results and how they fight inflammation and oxidation in the body.
Well...looks like I don’t need to worry about a STROKE!!!
I don’t believe any of this ‘Pop Health Bulletins”. They are written by merchants hocking their wares! IMHO
7 inches of snow on the ground here.
Looked like winter wonderland today.
I ate a lot to keep warm.
