Nothing like being able to pass on good news to make my friends happy.  I came across the following article which discusses in detail, the health benefits of eating chocolate.  Pure chocolate comes from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao plant. A study published in April 2007 in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that cocoa was more effective at lowering blood pressure than green and black tea. Both of these teas contain similar polyphenolic flavonoid anti-oxidants.  More effective than green and black tea?  I’m in! Without all the junk added to it, this sounds like a nice treat for pregnant and breastfeeding moms.  Enjoy!
