Health and Nutrition: Dark Chocolate Isn't a Health Food, but . . . - New York Times

I still vote for fruits and vegetables, but...

Health and Nutrition: Dark Chocolate Isn't a Health Food, but . . . - New York Times: "eating dark chocolate appears to bring down blood pressure in people with hypertension, researchers said yesterday."

But be forewarned:

The "dark chocolate used in the study, conducted at the University of L'Aquila in Italy, is vastly different from most of that found on American shelves. Beyond that, the researchers said, high-fat, high-calorie foods like chocolate should be eaten in moderation"
