i keep munching on these ghiradelli squares i got from target from the halloween sale. but there's no way something that tastes this good be good for you. aside from the saturated fat and sugar, anything about chocolate bad? or good? or badgood?

cacao itself actually has beneficial antioxidants; it's just that chocolate in the form that we eat it in is bad -- too much saturated fat

That's like saying aside from committing suicide by jumping off a building, is there anything bad except the death.

Well, the fat will clog your arteries.
The sugar drives your blood sugar level through the roof and makes your insulin level skyrocket, therefore increasing your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and propels you toward obesity.

But other than that, nah, nothing wrong.

Scientists have proven that your brain reacts the same way to chocolate as it does to sex ... [ and chocolate stimulates a females brain more than a male ]
