spooky3 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yes, i've read lot's of similar articles over the years. I try to have at least one cup o cocoa a day! Most chocolate is over 50% sugar though and very low levels of actual cocoa mass, so you need good dark chocolate... (50% + cocoa solids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 It's a pile o crap, probably brought about by chocolate firms in readiness for St Valentine's Day and Easter. You eat chocolate for 6 months and I'll eat fruit, then we'll see who can run the longest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well discussing diet type stuff the other day and I was informed that fructose turns into fat very easily (I have about 4 oranges and then a few other fruits a day!). http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20080731/fructose-may-make-you-fatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You eat chocolate for 6 months and I'll eat fruit, then we'll see who can run the longest. If you ate nowt but fruit you'd lose as the only thing you'd be running for would be the bog! However if it was a race for the Gents I'd think you win handsomely... I'd have to say with a survey like this you want to beware of cui bono though.
