Chock-a-lock-a-love!

Finding out that dark chocolate is actually a health food rocked my world. Yes, I said DARK chocolate - the darker the better. Milk chocolate? Nah. White chocolate? Oh, pul-eez. It isn't even chocolate but basically milk, cocoa butter (has no cocoa) and sugar along with flavorings.

Amazingly, chocolate is an antioxidant which means it gets rid of free radicals which cause disease and aging. Heck, chocolate is even better for you than blueberries, green tea and pomegrates! All this goodness can lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, fight cancer, leap tall buildings in a single bound. You catch my meaning.

There is more but do you really need convincing beyond this?! Dark chocolate is satisfying in small amounts. It will take care of your seet tooth with little damage to your waistline.

I'll do what I have to to stave off aging and illness. Bring on the dark stuff.

  1. Of course I knew this Gail! I adore chocolate and eat it everyday, just a bit of dark chocolate, but it hits the spot. I really like eating it with nuts or nut clusters, so good. Hey how's the moving going, or are you settled in to your new place?

  2. Sounds good, although I must admit I prefer the milk or white variety. But totally went off all choc, whilst ill over Easter. Now I can take or leave, but that will probably not last.

    Hope all is going well with your move.
