Chocolate may reduce risk of death

A study of older men in The Netherlands, known for its luscious chocolate, indicated those who ate the equivalent of one-third of a chocolate bar every day had lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death.
The researchers say, however, that it is too early to conclude that the chocolate led to better health. “It's way too early to make recommendations about whether people should eat more cocoa or chocolate,” said Brian Buijsse, a nutritional epidemiologist at Wageningen University in The Netherlands.

They're right, of course. The reduced risk of death may just be a result of having more to live for.
