The Easter Bunny Report!

Easter Bunny report on "good for you" chocolate: 

A study published online in the European Heart Journal says that people who consumed chocolate reduced their risk of stroke or heart attack by 39 percent due to lowered blood pressure. 

Before you go pigging out on Hershey bars, you should note that the amount of chocolate the study subjects consumed was a mere 7.5 grams per day -- an amount equal to one small square of a 100-gram (3.5-ounce) bar -- and the greatest protection came from more expensive dark chocolate bars containing at least 70 percent cacao. 

Health benefits from chocolate consumption, believed to come from naturally occurring flavonols in cocoa that relax blood vessels and improve platelet function. 

So...go enjoy some chocolate!!
