Chocolate is Good for Your Soul (and Bones!)

Dark chocolate has gotten a pretty good rap over the last couple of years. It’s touted as a good treat (in moderation) to go to for fighting coronary disease, high blood pressure and even insulin resistance.
And now a recent article on MSN says it’s good for your bones! Because it contains large amounts of magnesium, chocolate can actually help boost bone density and they suggest nibbling one ounce of dark chocolate every day. I think I can do that!
Can you find some science that says it’s good for my thighs! I’d be jumping up and down. I guess I will settle for healthy bones.
Haha! No joke – hopefully that’ll be the next finding!
Thank goodness those scientist finally heard what I’ve been saying for 30 yrs. Chocolate is GOOD for us. Keep listening & I’m sure the next thing they will announce is that pepperoni pizza with double cheese actually clears out your arteries.
