Chocolate is good for you

This is great news indeed.

Milk chocolate, dark, white? Did they specify?

Better try every kind,,,just to be sure...

I'm sitting here looking at a box of Golden Caramel Toblerone Truffles. I bought them for a present ,,but they do look nice

The researchers found a molecule ( theobromine?) that has anti-aging properties in dark chocolate. However sadly it’s not clear if there is evidence we should eat more chocolate - but I’m willing to give it a try!

Well we can only try, however dificult that might be, someone has to do it,

Presumably the experts mean ‘proper’ chocolate! So many brands now have very little chocolate in the mix. I can’t eat palm oil and that is in so much ‘chocolate’ now.

I think it has to be high percentage dark chocolate. I don't think that OD-ing on Dairy milk fits the bill and I don't think that white chocolate is even chocolate.

I saw a neurologist a few years ago who recommended 2 squares of 70% chocolate, 2 strong coffees and a glass of red wine a day.
Plus statins which I ignored 🤣

Me✋🏻✋🏻 Two squares an evening and over 70% Though I did have a square of Dubai chocolate last week to see what it was like…lovely

That’s my kind of diet.

That’s included in my new cholesterol lowering diet. Problem is I don’t usually drink wine although I do like a bit with the chocolate.I’ve been buying Bournville chocolate although when the supply I’ve bought from BM Bargains is gone I don’t know where to get it from.

Bournville doesn’t cut it MayBee70, because the cocoa content is low. You could try Aldi Moser Roth, which is 85% cocoa, I think they do one that’s 70% too. I like the Co Op fair trade Irresistible 85% one best, but I think you have to try quite a few to decide what suits you.

I have developed a taste for Lindt dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt. Just a couple of squares every now and then.
Yes, I know salt isn't supposed to be good for us, but we do need some, don't we.

but I think you have to try quite a few to decide what suits you.
What a good idea 😂

I know, it’s tough, as you have to do the same with the wine and coffee too, it’s my life’s work.

😂

You'll look younger and younger!

If only!

Oh no. It looks very dark!

I hadn’t thought to look at the ingredients as it doesn’t taste very sweet…
