The evidence is in: chocolate is good for the heart.
I mean, Isn't it obvious that cocoa powder, rich in polyphenols such as catechins and procyanidins, inhibits low-density lipoprotein oxidation and atherogenesis, which is why our daily intake of cocoa increases plasma high-density lipoprotein and decreases LDL levels? Well yeah, we totally knew that.
"Dark chocolate has been shown to be associated with lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar levels and improvement in the way your blood vessels dilate and relax," writes cardiologist Julie Damp (Science Daily, 2/13/2012).
"To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure" (Titus 1:15). “'Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?' In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean" (Mark 7:19).
So drown in love and eat what you like. You were born from a golden egg floating on the primal sea of chocolate. What hatches you is the pecking that comes from inside.
