Chocolates are what we girls believe to be sinful to consume as we cannot stop once we have started, thus over eating hahah. It is believed that it makes us put on lotsss of weight, which i frankly believe it to still ahha. Some also believe that the main ingredient, cocoa, which is found in chocolates, retards our growth. However, according to a website, these observations were made by a Harvard scientist.
---consuming chocolate could possibly be more important to human health. This Harvard scientist even went to the extent to speculate the chocolaty benefits could be even greater than the effects of penicillin or anesthesia.
---there are said to be vast benefits of epicatechin-rich cocoa which Kuna Indians in Panama consumed.
---some are calling for epicatechin to be regarded as an essential vitamin, and even altering the standard definition of what a vitamin really is.
---the presence of the aforementioned diseases are linked by some to epicatechin deficiency, one expert says.

However, not all chocolates have such wondorous benefits. Consuming any run-of-the-mil chocolate such as those found in supermarkets, do not give consumers such benefits. Scientists agree patients derive the most benefits from minimally-processed chocolates. I personally know of some people who eat dark chocolate for lunch and it is slimming according to them, that or they just do not put on weight. That's pretty amazing if you ask me. However, they do not consume it in huge vast amounts hahah. We must all remember to eat in moderation, don't overdo it.

So to sum it all up, for all those chocolate-loving people out there, remember these tips.
---Eat it only if you're healthy.
---Confine your choices to dark chocolate.
---Consume it only in moderation.

Easter is coming up soon! remember the tips listed above and think twice before eating all the pretty chocolate eggs(:
