It seems that I'm usually drawn to blogging about feature news stories. Tonight will be no exception.
This is encouraging! Apparently Cocoa can help control blood pressure. Now we always knew that chocolate has minor magical powers, but this article presented something new to me.
"The drop in blood pressure among participants who consumed cocoa products for at least two weeks was in the same range as achieved by someone taking drugs commonly prescribed to control high blood pressure."
The article also says that by lowering blood pressure, chocolate can reduce the chances of having a stroke or heart attack by 10-20%.
--This is signifigant--chocolate is cheap, can be enjoyed and has the the healing powers of a drug that took scientists years to create.
