Scientific Support for Red Wine?!?

Recently I talked about finding scientific support for the consumption of dark chocolates, yummy, and now I have found support for the consumption of red wine (white wine as well)! I think that if I look hard enough I might be able to find a study that says “Chocolate Chip Pancakes Cure Cancer”! I’ll keep looking for that, but for now I am happy drinking my red wine and eating my dark chocolate.

Scientific Support for Chocolate

As chocolate is something of a hobby for me and I always love it when I run across scientific backing for chocolatey goodness. Recently, I ran across an article in the Harvard Gazette that says that chocolate, in moderation, can help reduce the risk of a certain type of stroke. The study says it may be through chocolates positive effects on blood pressure and blood vessle flexibility that help reduce the risk of strokes. All it takes is a few squares of dark chocolate per day. That is a prescription I can really get behind!
