10 reasons you should eat dark chocolate
Posted on Mon, Mar 25, 2013
If you're looking for an excuse to indulge in dark chocolate, look no further. Dark chocolate has been shown to have many health benefits, but that doesn't mean you should raid the vending machine. The key is moderation (about 1 ounce per day) and choosing chocolates with at least 60% cacao content.

    Next week, an article about how dark chocolate will give you brain hemorrhoids. And drinking a gallon of tequila will boost your immune system. Two weeks later we'll get an "Oops, we were wrong. Sorry about that."

    Who would have dreamed we'd get to the point where dark chocolate, pasture butter, and bacon were considered health foods?

    What, exactly, is moderation? It would be nice to know the proper serving size and how that relates to a regular size candy bar.

    This is about pure dark chocolate, not a Snickers bar.
    The claims here seem excessive though and I like chocolate.

    The studies cited are dated 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2012. No silver bullets, just interesting research. I always joked that when we go hiking, we need to pack our heart emergency kit: aspirin, red wine, and dark chocolate. This is chocolate that is 70% or more cacao I believe.
