In the Mayo Clinic DVD, Wellness Solutions For Weight Loss, the doctor who gave the guided grocery shopping trip, bless him, recommended dark chocolate. This really won me over. Mind, its small amounts only. Sweets are the very tip of the pyramid above oils. Kind of like how the Egyptian pyramids originally had tips of gleaming gold. Here is the pinnacle of our beautiful food pyramid.

Dark chocolate has flavanoids and that is the key. White chocolate does not have flavanoids so the darker the chocolate the better. Dark chocolate has been shown to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol and help prevent coronary events.
