Eat More Choklit

If there are flaws in this study, I don't want to know:

This review looked at data from 114,000 participants and it is pretty much conclusive. Basically, looking at that pool of data, the best results showed that people who consumed the most chocolate carried a 37 percent lower risk of developing heart disease and were 29 percent less likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate the least. And overall it is clear that there is a benefit in fighting strokes to eating chocolate.

Now, they do caution you that the sugar and fat in chocolate is bad for you. To that, I say phooey on the fat, and yes, but on the sugar.

My current favorite way to get my daily dose of chocolate is that flax seed cookie.  Here's what I'm doing now:

Melt two tablespoons of butter (I use organic butter from Costco, and butter is a healthy fat) in a saucer.

Meanwhile grind two tablespoons of flsx seed, 1-3 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon organic, unsweetened coconut,1/2 a tablespoon or more of cocoa powder.

Stir four tablespoons of water and about half a dropper full of flavored stevia (I like hazlenut, English toffee, or chocolate raspberry) into the melted butter, then add the ground flax seed mixture to the saucer and stir well.  Microwave for about two minutes and 30 seconds.  Let cool, gently loosen edges with a butter knife, remove from plate and eat.  You can also spread it with a bit of cream cheese.

Other sugar free chocolate goodness- melt some coconut manna, combine with cocoa powder, a bit of stevia, and some ground almonds, maybe a bit of melted butter or coconut oil.  Mixture should be solid, but soft.  Drop bits off the end of a teaspoon onto waxed paper and chill until solid.
Yummy candy.
