Love-Chocolate

    Well As you know from the post before this that this brand of chocolate is very creamy, rich and good tasting chocolate. This post is on the same brand only darker. 

    I found it extremely bitter! I knew it was going to be bitter but it was a shock to find it as bitter as it was. I like the texture of this chocolate very much but the chocolate is very pungent. The packaging it very nice. It is sealed in this plastic case and then placed in its box. There are many little squares of chocolate about 3 quarters of an in on all sides. I am very glad that the chocolate squares are in small quantities because I don't think I could handle having more than 3 squares at a time. 

    I can see myself buying this again but I think it will last a very long time in this house hold. But on a good side this is about as healthy you can get a chocolate bar. If you were really enthused with the essence of chocolate try buying Cocoa Nibs. The last time I had Cocoa Nibs I thought I might be able to handle the bitterness of them but I was mistaken.

A recent study which just appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association about chocolate lowering blood pressure. By a series of tests they proved that eating some dark chocolate can lower a persons blood pressure without having a diet change. German researchers divided 44 adults in half. They gave one half dark chocolate and one half white chocolate. The ones who had dark chocolate received a difference of 20 points. The people who had white chocolate did not get any. 

There is an ingredient in chocolate that works as a vasodilator, helping the blood vessels relax and become more flexible, and thus reducing the pressure inside. And surprisingly a little chocolate in this case goes a long way.

So take your chocolate to heart!
