Honey, honey, honey, I replied. Chocolate\u2019s not your problem. Chocolate\u2019s your solution.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
She looked at me like I had grown horns and had just flown in from some other planet. How in the world could this be true. Her world just got turned inside outside and upside down. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Her misunderstanding is multilayered, like a mental baklava of confusion. Because research science has shown chocolate to have amazing health properties. It is a super food, just and good (and better in some instances) than the broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, and celery sticks that you\u2019ve been trying to get your children choke back. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Think of what a popular parent you will be when you learn the 5 things chocolate is doing for you, and then coach your kids to eat it! They will love you, always clean their room, and call on Mothers Day. Guaranteed (almost!). <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>Over the next 5 articles I\u2019m going to show you what nutrition science has discovered about the world\u2019s healthiest food. These 5 discoveries are things you never saw coming, never imagined could be true, but happen to be so.<\/span><\/p>\n
