Basic Pursuits

Here's a piece of good news.

An Italian study shows that dark chocolate can significantly reduce the inflammation that leads to cardiovascular disease. The ideal amount is 6.7 grams per day (0.23 ounces). A typical Hershey chocolate bar weighs about 43 grams. That means eating one dark chocolate bar over the course of 6 1/2 days to get 6.7 grams per day.

My personal preference is the Lindt 85% cocoa bar. It comes in 10 gram sections.

Now it's going to taste even better.
