Bummer. But isn't chocolate bad for everyone, and they still eat it. Why cant you?

Actually somwhere I heard that if a man (I'm not sure if woman do also) eats a choclate bar once a week it can reduce his risk of getting a stroke. But I think it only applies to Dark Chocolate.

"Chocolate" is actually made differently in different countries. The confectionary most Western people think of as "chocolate" is detested in some european countries, to the point of being illegal to be sold under the name "chocolate" and has to be called "milk chocolate" or similar instead. Western "chocolate" contains lots of filler (milk, fat, sugar) and very little actual chocolate (cacoa).

Some of the health claims made about "chocolate" are for Dark Chocolate and some are for the proper Cacoa Chocolate.

BUT there's all sorts of claims about various foods and drinks (chocolate, wine, coffee, etc.) - one week they're good for you, the next they're bad for you. The "experts" wasting huge piles of money and time studying these things are simply morons. Part of the issue for the ever changing "results" is due to the fact that they only ever survey a tiny fraction of the people and then claim their "results" are true for everyone. It's the same problem with all silly polls / studies, including TV ratings. They're worthless.

As long as you eat sensibly, everything is good for you (except of course poisons or if you're allergic to it!). If you eat stupidly, then anything can be bad for you - I read somewhere that eating massive amounts of apples every day can result in arsenic poisoning.

The problem with chocolate for me is that even a small amount (a few chocolate sprinkles on top of a cake) quickly causes very bad skin problems - a bit like an allergic reaction.
