More Chocolatey Healthy Goodness
I was browsing Healther’s 50 Things You Can Do With Chocolate and followed the links to those which seemed to be eating-related (yes, there’s more to chocolate than just popping it in your mouth, apparently).
Aside from being good for the heart and brain, the theobromine in chocolate “may have therapeutic effects when given at the proper dosage and are used in the treatment of respiratory diseases and heart disease”… in rats.
Check out these “value-added” chocolates, too:
Chocolate Ants: “…hese six-legged sweets are made from genuine Queen Leafcutter ants (like the ones you see on nature programs carrying flipping great bits of foliage). None of which makes much difference when you’re chomping on a big deceased one that’s been slopped in chocolate, but we thought you might be interested. Ah yes, and what about that chocolate? Well, the good people at Edible have chosen the finest Belgian chocolate in which to dip their creepy crawlies, making the overall taste sensation a gloriously bittersweet affair in every sense.”
Chocolate Clarifying Bar: “The zit-zapping confection contains Borba’s “Skin Balance Clarifying Aqua-Less Crystalline Powder” to remove toxins and improve skin clarity. The powder contains a cultivated bio-vitamin complex which helps the skin regenerate its natural support system.”
