quote: Chocolate and coffee seem to go together perfectly. Think of a double-shot mocha at the corner coffee shop. Yet, the two ingredients appear to have opposite effects on a person's arteries, according to two new studies. Chocolate is good for them, whereas coffee—or at least its caffeine—does damage.
quote: The pulse readings indicated that people's arteries were definitely less stiff after they ate the chocolate, Vlachopoulos says. The comparison for artery dilation also favored chocolate: Volunteers' forearm arteries were 20 percent more dilated on days of eating chocolate versus no-chocolate days.
Ha! My parents were wrong! Eating chocolate is healthy
