Harvard researchers are finally catching up with basic women's wisdom. Chocolate isn't just a guilty pleasure, it's a matter of health - and at certain times of the month, perhaps life and death for some of us.
No, I'm not kidding. A new study from Harvard shows there's some sort of flavanol (don't ask me what a flavanol is. Science is finally cutting our way here. That's all that matters.) in not only chocolate, but WINE and tea, as well (this just gets better and better). And, according to the Ivy league crowd, it's directly linked to better cardiovascular health. Go Big Red, I say!
Read the article for yourself. Apparantly, there's an island community off the coast of Panama where the average person drinks up to 40 cups of cocoa a week (Is there a Sandals there? Does American fly direct?). Anyway, folks there apparantly are way more heart healthy than folks on the mainland. Even though the study was executed by Harvard, uh, well, there is the matter it was funded by the Mars Candy people - a little detail I will choose to ignore at least five days a month.
Does this mean Hershey will be moving to the supplement aisle? See you there!
