[Sca-cooks] chocolate 'health' benefits - virtually none, really

[Tom Vincent]

LOL!  If wine has added alcohol, I think it's called something else:  fortified wine, maybe? Port?
   
  Definitely agree about moderation...except excessive moderation, of course. :)

No, just alcohol.

I think the key word in many of the recent posts is Moderation. I 
remember, back in the early eighties, Reader's Digest did a summary 
article on a bunch of the recent health reports. This was the time when 
all of the "X may give you cancer" articles were coming out (including 
oxygen, by the way). The article was tongue-in-cheek, pointing out the 
ludicrous amounts of the various substances being injected into the test 
animals.

The conclusion of the author was "If you don't eat, drink, or breathe 
anything, you will live longer."
