An Ounce of Chocolate A Day Keeps The Weight Off

Here is some happy medical news - Eating chocolate (about an ounce a day) five days a week is associated with a lower body mass index :-)

I like it where a doctor says:

“The study is provocative and confirms what we have been calling the chocolate/obesity paradox: Despite chocolate’s high caloric load, its regular intake does not result in weight gain,” said Dr. Franz Messerli, Director of Hypertension program at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York, who was not involved in the study. “Thus, to put it pointedly, chocolate could be called a lazy man’s exercise.”
