It does work, just keep in mind that it adds up to about 1400 extra calories per week.

I get the 100% from Trader Joe's. Montezuma’s Absolute Black. I like it, just like I enjoy my coffee black.

Anything more than about 70% is just too bitter for me.

Dark chocolate, the only chocolate out there, cause everything else is just butter and milk.

Lilly’s has stevia sweetened dark chocolate bars. They taste really good. Unfortunately, the few times that I get a real deal migraine, I have had some high percentage dark chocolate.

The only dark chocolate I will eat is York's mint patties.

I've been eating a few squares of 92 percent for several months, and my blog pressure is down. It has very little sugar, and not a lot of calories, either. It was bitter in the beginning, but I've cut most sweets out of my diet and I find it quite tasty now.

Ok.... I like dark chocolate (a lot ! ) , but if you look at that study you find :

1. They only ran the study for 30 days.

2. They only studied 30 people.

3. They only studied young people in their 20's.

4. The average decrease of systolic pressure was 3.5 mm of mercury.....That's really not very much.... I'd bet that you can lower your pressure that much by taking a good dump...


My opinion is that you should eat dark chocolate because it tastes good ( I certainly will)….but don't expect to live a lot longer because of it. JMO....mike

That's the problem with news reports of scientific studies. They cherry-pick what they want for a good story, knowing that the vast majority of readers won't bother to look at the original study.

Exactly. 3.5mm isn't going to make one bit of difference in your lifespan, even if it's a real change.

So often articles describing these health studies will throw out a number without context. "Drinking Diet Coke increases your stroke risk by 10%" (I made that up). They aren't saying your risk went from 10% to 20%. They mean it went from 10% to 11%, but most people read it as something that would be far more significant than it really is.
