<\/a>I’m writing my next book at this moment, which is going to be on chocolate and weight loss. <\/span>

<\/span> This morning I ran across this article that has just been pubbed (see below): <\/span>“Cocoa polyphenols suppress adipogenesis in vitro and obesity in vivo …”<\/i>

<\/span>SCIENCE-TO-ENGLISH DICTIONARY:<\/b><\/span>
The healthy stuff in cocoa reduces the creation of fat cells in laboratory experiments. And, it lowers obesity in live animal models. <\/span>

<\/span>Is this perfect? I have tons of references showing the impact of chocolate on weight loss, diabetes, heart health, and on and on. It’s a Super Food. But this article is spot on. Not only does the cocoa in chocolate help inhibit the formation of fat in the lab, it does it in living animals as well. <\/span>

<\/span>Hey, we’re living animals? I think I’ll have some chocolate and think this over. <\/span>
