International Chocolate Day

Some of you may not see this post until tomorrow, but today, a lovely, sunny September 13th, is International Chocolate Day ~ and I cannot let this important date pass without acknowledgement. I actually have a whole post (or two…) lined up about this Food of the Gods, which will have to wait. Right now, it’s deadline-ville over here, but you can rest assured that chocolate will be honored at some point in my day. I hope it will be celebrated in yours as well.

        Yes, it’s awesome. Now I can have wine AND chocolate together and feel great about it !! (being a cardiologist and all…)

        If it makes your heart happy, it’s got to be good for your heart ~ that’s how I see it. Not very medical, but a good philosophy IMHO!

    “Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two but can’t remember what they are.”

        Not that I’d know anything about that personally of course. But I do note interesting research…
