GOT TO HAVE CHOCOLATE

For those of us Elkmont folk who LOVE chocolate, Hill Spirit found this today and wanted to share. Just think when someone says we eat a bit too much chocolate, we can say, "Chocolate Saves Brains". 

Research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that enjoying just two chocolate bars per week can meaningfully reduce your risk of stroke.  Cocoa content varies widely in chocolate bars. Milk chocolate tends to have the lowest cocoa content, often less than 25%. Dark chocolate may contain 50% or more cocoa solids – this is the best chocolate from a health standpoint. One study found cocoa can be just as effective as aspirin (and without the side effects) in helping to prevent blood clotting. 

 
On your grocery store’s candy aisle, look for the good stuff such as Lindt’s or Gordiva's  70%, 85%, and 90% Cacao bars. Eat a few squares a day; after all it is health food.
