Remember, there are several big scientific myths (actually, unscientific! ) about food and one of them being that cholesterol causes heart disease and another that there is 'bad' and 'good' types of cholesterol. But, in some favour of the link's claims, it says it works by giving "anti-inflammatory activity" which at least would make sense because there is empirical evidence that it is mainly inflammation in the blood vessel walls, not cholesterol which has nothing to do with it, that causes heart disease.

Originally posted by humyYeah, they used to say to avoid egg yolks to avoid raising the cholesterol. That turned out to be false.

Milk chocolate just doesn't account for all the cacao production.
Dark chocolate is the name given to this missing chocolate that
scientists know must be out there somewhere!
News from CERN: Major announcement! Physics is complete now, the theory of everything has been finished. The major ingredient in all this is proof of dark matter, it turns out to have been dark chocolate all along! Light years of the stuff! Altering spacetime! Amazing!

Milk chocolate explains everything just fine.

Milk chocolate just doesn't have the properties of expanding the universe so we have to wait and see🙂
don't you? It's a major part of the Swiss economy.
The canny French insisted it was on the border so that
they get a good deal for making chocolate soufflés.
