EAT CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST

Finally, some good news. Wait, no – some GREAT news. A new study claims that eating chocolate first thing in the morning may be a healthier idea than many think. Researchers from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital say eating chocolate during a narrow window of time after waking up improved health in a study of postmenopausal women. Researchers examined 19 women who ate 100 grams of chocolate (a little more than two chocolate candy bars) within one hour of waking up each morning. The group also consumed the same amount of chocolate one hour before bed. The team then compared weight gain and other measures of health to people not eating chocolate. Results show morning and nighttime chocolate eating did not lead to weight gain in these women. The study appears in The FASEB Journal.

* Now you have to believe they found people who do not eat chocolate.
* And that they didn’t get a payoff from Hershey’s.
* Boy, oh boy – for once I’m ahead of the science curve.
