I love chocolate. I could probably be considered a chocoholic and I make no apologies for that! So I was very happy when I saw this information out of the University of California, San Diego! They have found that those people who regularly enjoy chocolate weigh 5 to 7 pounds less than those who skip chocolate entirely. They don't know why yet and are planning further studies into that aspect. But hey, I am just happy with that little tidbit. So go ahead and have an ounce or so a day of dark chocolate if you wish. Remember that dark chocolate is rich in heart-healthy antioxidants!
Warning: Do not overindulge! You can turn anything good into something bad by overindulging. And remember to go for the dark chocolate. So called white chocolate is not chocolate at all and in most cases the lighter chocolate is higher in fat and sugar. You can read more about types of chocolates by checking out the archives of this blog.
