I’m recovering from a (very long, boring) day of performing my civic duty so I leave you with a quick link: 7 Myths & Facts about Chocolate from sparkpeople.com.

Myth: Chocolate lacks any nutritional value.
Fact: Chocolate is a good source of magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. It also contains polyphenols (an antioxidant also found in tea and red wine) that have been associated with a decreased risk of coronary disease. An average chocolate bar contains about the same amount of antioxidants as a 5-ounce glass of red wine.
