Health & Chocolate

We get several questions a day at Bittersweet regarding the health effects of chocolate, and so I just thought I'd take a minute to point out several (hopefully) helpful links on the subject:
Cornell University study
CNN
BBC Heart Health
WebMD
BBC Happy Babies article

So don't just take our word for it! If you get excited about the flavinols and antioxidants, just remember that their half-life in the body is short, so the best approach to keep them elevated is small doses throughout the day. A little bit of dark chocolate with every meal ought to do the trick! :-)
