Good news about dark chocolate Easter eggs


Have you heard the good news about dark chocolate?  

Summarised from Ease Easter Guilt": go for dark chocolate - Nicola Conville, Sunday Telegraph 24/3/13

Easter promises calorific overindulgence but according to studies by researchers from Monash University, the choice of dark chocolate offers significant health benefits, including improvement of blood flow and a "feel good" factor.
It's a healthier option, especially since with a 70 per cent cocoa component, dark chocolate generally contains less added sugar and fat than milk chocolate,  with other studies stressing it be part of a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise. 

Sounds like great news to me!

Happy Easter to you all.
Clara  - lover of dark chocolate
