Musical selection is "Swanee"

Also, I dedicate it to my dear friend, Loretta,
who is in the Chocoholics Hall of Fame top 10 list.
Loretta and I try to outdo each other with chocolate desserts
when we are together. I am certain that at least one of her
recipes will appear here.

Studies show that chocolate is a powerful protecter against
heart disease because it contains phenolic acids. These are
chemicals that prevent oxidation of good blood fats into the
form of fat that clogs arteries. Also, if you love dark chocolate,
it contains more of the phenolic acids, so you are even less at risk.

Chocolate also contains stearic acid, which boosts good cholesterol
without upping the bad cholesterol.

Chocolate does not trigger migraines.
(If it did, I would stay sick with them)

Chocolate does not cause acne.

Chocolate does not cause tooth decay, even though it contains
sugar. This is probably because its protein and minerals help
protect tooth enamel and its fat content prevents it from sticking
to the teeth.

Chocolate makes us feel good! (We all know that or we wouldn't be
reading this page, now would we?). The reason for that is that
chocolate contains three brain chemicals that stimulate feelings
of pleasure.
