Chocolate News

From Wikipedia...

A BBC report indicated that melting chocolate in one's mouth produced an increase in brain activity and heart rate that was more intense than that associated with passionate kissing, and also lasted four times as long after the activity had ended.[70]
In later research, chocolate has been linked with multiple health benefits and liabilities. Research on elderly people showed chocolate might cause osteoporosis.[71] However, more research has shown that it will boost cognitive abilities.[72] Further, dark chocolate and cocoa butter have been linked with multiple positive effects. Scientific evidence has suggested dark chocolate can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems [73] and also reduce blood pressure in both overweight and normal adults.[73] Finally, studies have shown dark chocolate can lower cholesterol levels in adults.[74]
In August 2011, Cambridge research published in the British Medical Journal: Eating high levels of chocolate could be associated with a significant reduction in the risk of certain cardiovascular disorders.[75]
