Default Healthy Chocolate?!?

Here's an interesting link I ran across at a cooking site I hang out on:

http://www.cocoavia.com.

It turns out that cocoa is chock full of essential flavanols, some of which can be retained if processed carefully. The numbers are amazing--the stuff has more than red wine or green tea. This is a Mars product, but pretty soon perhaps we will see the beginnings of a new ad campaign, where the cardiologist looks into the patient's eye and says, "Your blood pressure's too high. I'm putting you on a chocolate diet!"

A lot of things I could live without, but not chocolate. Especially dark chocolate.

Oh! That reminded me that I bought a package of mini Milky Ways....not DARK chocolate (DARK is always better - come over to the DARK SIDE ), but the wrappers are glow-in-the-DARK - same thing - right? I'm eating 2 right now ..... for my health. I haven't felt well the last 2 days, and I'm pretty sure it's because I've had no chocolate.
