Chocolate for a healthy heart (CNN report)
http://www.medscicommunications.com/just_for_fun.htm#benefits
(MedSci Communications) Chocolate contains
Tryptophan: an essential amino acid that increases the production of
serotonin, an anti-depressant and natural stress-reducer
Caffeine: which increases resistance to fatigue, intellectual activity, and
watchfulness.
Plus but also has large quantities of potassium and magnesium, some calcium
and sodium, and vitamins A1, B1, B2, D, and E.

(Exploratorium) explodes anti-chocolate myths; rest assured that “it does
not cause acne” (two studies by Pennsylvania School of Medicine and another
by the U.S. Naval Academy). Nor has it been shown to cause dental decay.
Shame about the relationship between the fats in chocolate and weight gain.
But you’re only young once, right?
