A candy bar a week?

Dark Chocolate Prevents Heart Disease:
"An Italian study shows that dark chocolate can significantly reduce the inflammation that leads to cardiovascular disease. The ideal amount is 6.7 grams per day (0.23 ounces). A typical Hershey chocolate bar weighs about 43 grams. That means eating one dark chocolate bar over the course of 6 1/2 days to get 6.7 grams per day."
wow. That would take much patience! Unfortunately, milk chocolate does not seem to work.
