Did You Know?

If you are requesting chocolate for Valentine's Day you may want to direct your sweetheart to purchase the dark variety. That's because dark chocolate can actually be good for you, in addition to tasting delicious. Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, those substances that can help fend off diseases. It may also help to lower blood pressure. However, milk may interfere with the proper absorption of antioxidants, so don't wash it down with a tall glass or mix chocolates if you want the full health benefits. Though there's no longer a need to feel guilty when indulging in a piece, remember moderation is key.
