Finally, the Power of Chocolate

I love reading science stuff because sooner or later you will find something that you can use to justify just about anything. As I came across the following headline on LiveScience I was particularly overjoyed:

Chocolate Helps Heart Stay Healthy
Ah, but there's always a fly in the ointment or a bit of bad news in it all. The article has the whole story:
Only 6.7 grams of chocolate per day (or 0.23 ounces) represents the ideal amount ...For comparison, a standard-sized Hershey's Kiss is about 4.5 grams (though the classic Kiss is not made of dark chocolate) and one Hershey's dark chocolate bar is about 41 grams (so a recommendation might be one of those weekly).
I guess the thing to keep in mind is moderation.

But I'm on a diet anyway so I can't have any for the moment.
