Good news for chocolate lovers.
Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to improve the function of important cells lining the wall of blood vessels for at least three hours.
The study, involving 17 healthy young volunteers who agreed to eat a bar of dark chocolate and then get an ultrasound, found that eating dark chocolate seemed to make the blood vessels more flexible, which helps prevent the hardening of the arteries that leads to heart attacks.
Very interesting article on the health benefits of chocolate–including how it has effect on seratonin in the brain to help keep us happy!

I can just imagine how this happened:
“Our produt chocolate is good for people?”
“Let’s fix that by taking the good stuff out, we can repackage it and sell it as nutraceuticals at 100x the price, if the FDA allows it …”
Where can I find this study? I’m interested in reading it.
