It's all the evidence I need to eat my five a day! (chocolate bars that is!)

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)

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.

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!).

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.

Eating large amounts of chocolate is only good for you if washed down with diet coke.

Nice idea and judging by the fat lumps o' lard I see everywhere, already a popular delusion.
