You've heard that red wine may fight heart attacks...thanks partly to the antioxidants it contains.  Now wine chemists at the University of California at Davis reveal that chocolate contains these same antioxidants - called "flavonoids".  A 1.5 oz. milk chocolate bar has the same quantity of flavonoids as a 5-oz. glass of cabernet sauvignon.
 However, chocolate is too high in fat and empty calories to be heart smart. But - there are  flavonoids in cocoa powder, and 1 cup of hot chocolate made with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder has about 75% of the flavonoids in a glass of red wine.  make hot chocolate with skim milk and you get a nice big splash of calcium and vitamin D, almost no fat...and at least a few fightin' flavonoids.  tip:  Definitely the healthiest way to fill up on flavonoids - eat lots of fruit and vegetables.  (White chocolate, by the way, has zero flavonoids.)

I Made Mine Chocolate

How many times in my life
Have I heard it being said,
"In case you have to eat them,
Make your words chocolate instead."
It's a common fact we're human.
We say things we often regret.
That's why I made mine chocolate,
So my stomach won't be upset.
Did you fill your plate this morning,
With chocolate coated words to swallow?
Did they give you indigestion
Or did they leave you empty and hollow?
Have you said hurtful words
Or caused a heart to break?
I made mine chocolate,
'Cause, then, they're easier to take.
