tell me something we don't already know

yes, yes, yes: yet another study (log your own bad self in and think of bruce -- saute, wednesday) proclaims the benefits of dark chocolate for the heart.

long-time readers know i've been talking about this for, oh, 3 years now? at some point all these studies pile up!

while no individual piece of research is conclusive, the trend here seems pur-ty clear. it all apparently comes down to anti-oxidants -- and i feel compelled, dear readers, to note that coffee is also chock-full o' flavonoids. . .

in fact, coffee is the u.s.a.'s number one source of anti-oxidants in the diet. need i also point out that the tomato sauce on the bccy weekly pizza contains the anti-oxidant lycopene?

unbeknownst to me, i have to confess that time has proven this site to be all about health food. so eat your home-made pizza once or twice a week in a sensible portion; drink your moderate 3 cups of coffee a day; and don't forget that daily 1 -1.5 oz. of dark lecithin-free chocolate.

combine that with a yoga practice that's right for you 5 or 6 days a week, and it looks like we're golden over here. . .

frankly, i'm puzzled by this u.k. study -- that most people would surrender their chocolate before their 'net connection. what a false choice! you need the 'net connection to order the best chocolate online!

and in a totally unrelated social note, i'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate my canadian online coffee pals, bill and carl, on their important step forward towards human rights for all. it appears to have been the most lovely and tasteful wedding ever.


may they live happily ever after. . .
