Chocolate = GOOD!!

Ok. Almost any girl could tell you this by instinct, but in case you need scientific backing to make your point...

Chocolate is GOOD for you! Really.

According to a recent article at Bloomberg.com...
"Patients who each day ate 6.3 grams of dark chocolate, about as much as a Hershey's Kiss, reduced their blood pressure after 18 weeks, according to a study. "

and..."The people eating the dark chocolate experienced a drop in blood pressure without any weight gain, doctors found. "

Finally, a legitimate point for keeping my Secret Chocolate Stash. (see below, A Few of my Favorite Things...)
