    (in moderation of course!! )

    What's a woman without chocolate??
    To benefit your heart, opt for dark chocolate. Unlike milk chocolate, the dark kind contains high levels of antioxidants called flavanoids, which protect against heart disease and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol. But don't eat it while drinking a glass of milk--it cancels out the benefits.
    Instead, eat it with a glass of red wine. Red wine, like chocolate, is rich in flavanoids and antioxidants.
  • chocolate and red wine... does it get any better?
  • I second the notion !!

    I love all kinds of chocolate, except white which really isn't chocolate, what is that stuff anyway, I mean its a good candy but its not in the category of chocolate... sheeshe what were they thinking haaaaaaa

    CHOCOLATE is my middle name, COFFEE is my first PNUT M&M's IS MY LAST NAME
  • a lot of chocolate sold in the uk at least, i think the us too, doesn't qualify as chocolate by european standards; it has to have a certain % cocoa solids, cocoa butter, milk etc. depending on the type.

    white chocolate is made without cocoa solids, just cocoa butter.

    mmm, chocolate chocolate choco.. *slap* sorry

    MOCHA is my middle name!
  • Mmmm...me too Leenie!! I loveeee white chocolate!! That's why I dont buy it. I'll eat it all and not feel guilty 1 bit!!
