Kiss that Chocolate Kiss Good-bye

The lab reports are in, and inspite of all the hype of recent days about the health benefits of chocolate, people with the highest chocolate intake either end up with elevated triglicerides (from all the sugar), or with excessively high copper levels.

Sooner or later, most choco-holics test high in both triglicerides and copper and start exhibiting a number of related health problems. Like any junk food, if you have more than a casual relationship with chocolate, you are going to end up with something like kidney stones, allergic reactions, migraines, aggravated PMS, or other inflammatory infections.

Enjoy a little high quality, low sugar chocolate (the emphasis on "a little")during celebratory occasions. Your body will thank you.
