V-day: Chocolate health benefits!
I
chocolate! Last night I was making No Pudge Brownies... and my roomy sneaked in with the camera....ha......ha 
Anyway...I'm posting this because of V-day and my love for chocolate!! (In this case, dark chocolate comes out on top for health benefits, of course)
Benefits include...
-Has Antioxidants
-Can lower blood pressure
-Can lower cholesterol
-Not too bad in the fat department
Here are two great articles:
-Health Benefits of Chocolate
-Dark Chocolate is Healthy
Though I LOVE me some milk chocolate... Someone on the LapBand forum posted that a little piece of dark chocolate cures their chocolate cravings for the day... and it seems to work for me too! I get one small square of rich dark chocolate at the store and just enjoy it slowly and take in the rich taste!!
