Bring on the chocolate diet

[Churchill]

I think it may come down to quality and also the amount of antioxidant compounds, catechins in said chocolate. In the mass produced gunk you get these days is probably negligible.

I'm sure there are people out there who will use it an an excuse to stuff their faces and wonder why they aren't getting any thinner

The word "occasionally" does not to me mean "a few times a week", it means that whoever is eating knows when to stop! Unlike some lardy fat bastards!

Interestingly the article says nothing about chocolate quality (though it suggests dark chocolate is better). But quantity unimportant :-

"And it appears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. The study found no link with quantity consumed."

... or is this a euphamism for sex?

not how much but how often? dark is best?

the mind boggles

actually the biggest chocolate consumer that I've ever known didn't carry an ounce of fat, but he was a tree-surgeon and a landscaper which I think has more of a bearing

If you sit, like many of us, polishing the arse of your trousers all day, it's likely that you will put on a few pounds...

"It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally."

Good to see them use exact scientific terms like "few". That has explained that then.

A "few times a week" and "occasionally" are the same thing surely?
