Chocolate News
Lots of people tend to have negative connotations about chocolate. “It causes acne break outs, makes you fat, or women PMSing crave chocolate like it’s the end of the world!” Regardless of these negative thoughts surrounding chocolate, I’d like to share some very uplifting news about the delicious treat.
· People who eat chocolate more frequently (not in larger amounts) tend to weigh less than those who eat it less often.
· People who eat more chocolate have about 30% less heart disease and strokes compared to people who don’t eat chocolate.
· People who ate chocolate more than twice per week had over 30% less atherosclerotic plaque – one of the main causes and symptoms of heart disease – no matter their sex, age, calorie intake, smoking or diabetes status.
So… chocolate IS good for you!? Hmm… With that being said – I’m off to enjoy some of our delicious milk chocolate cashew clusters!
