[Sca-cooks] chocolate health benefits

[Betsy Marshall]

Because a 2 gram piece of chocolate is barely enough to cover your smallest
fingernail- now 2 grams of diamond- that'd be about 10 carats and worth
looking at! Betsy, (happily mixing metaphors/comparisons on a sunny Friday
morning.)

Snip-
The 2 grams was what was used in the study and it's results from that
amount, not  recommending people to take that amount.
The 70% in cocoa solids is a recommendation and they explained which
chocolate would most likely have that 70% cocoa solids. The recommend high
end chocolate companies are probably those companies that they feel have
chocolates within the 70% cocoa solid range.
So the 2 grams is chocolate as a whole and the 70% is cocoa solids within
the chocolate.
I do not see how any one of these are misleading.

Probably because each one is misleading in different ways.  One talks about
2 *grams* of chocolate per day, another talks about 70% cocoa level and then
lists a bunch of high-end/high-fat chocolate sites.

  The only way to gain a health benefit from chocolate is to throw it in the
trash as you head out the door for a walk around the block!
