Mmmm. I also tend to sit down (or at least stand still), close my eyes, and Saaavvooor it. Which I imagine also helps me BP. Plus, it keeps me so indulged that I never feel compelled to go off my diet. I eat about 100 calories of DARK chocolate a day. Mmmm.

I don't like to take away hope yet without preventative changes medicine can not make much progress against cancer. http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=129182 Yes Mary, prevention is really our best weapon.

If I had the ability to eat just a little bit of anything sweet, I wouldn't have so much trouble losing weight. For a lot of us, chocolate is a trigger food. One little piece just ain't gonna do it.

It wouldn't be worth the risk for me. I’m one of those people who can’t take even one bite of chocolate without eating the whole bag of kisses or m&ms. It wouldn’t be worth the risk for me.

I know it's not great diet food, but if you only eat it occasionally, it's a way to get some chocolate without risking a chocolate binge. I use chocolate chips in muffins and waffles, too.

Does that mean if you get cancer, you can never hope to be cured? I hope that's not true. Dr. J., it sounds like you’re talking about preventing cancer,not curing it.

It's a way to get some chocolate but not too much. I know some people might think pancakes aren't good on a diet, but you can probably find a way to put 30 calories of chocolate chips in another food.

I have bad news for you. 'We' already know the 'cure' for most cancers. The problem is that people will not make the behavioral changes needed and our societies will not make the environmental changes that are needed. So what happens is 'they' keep looking for a pill that will cure cancer. This will never be found. So why don't you find a cure, OK. Rob, this is said with the best of intentions.

They waste a lot of money on this junk. Why don't they find the cure for cancer instead. It sounds like another worthless study to me. They waste a lot of money on this junk.

Unless you eat chocolate constantly or a lot of it, you can have it every once in a while. I don't think I could just eat a small bite once a day, though.

That way you can have all the benefits, avoid the bad effects and have none of the pleasure :-) Why not consider having a teaspoon of baking cocoa mixed with anything.
