I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but still love to indulge in an 80%+ dark chocolate once in a blue moon.

The last three paragraphs are so relevant to us No-Sers:
"The main problem with chocolate is overindulgence and calories. A little bit of chocolate is OK but the mega-slabs offered cheaply are fuelling obesity in the overweight."
Victoria Taylor, Senior Heart Health Dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, said: "We can't start advising people to eat lots of chocolate based on this research. It didn't explore what it is about chocolate that could help and if one particular type of chocolate is better than another.
"If you want to reduce your heart disease risk, there are much better places to start than at the bottom of a box of chocolates. You can still eat chocolate as part of a balanced diet but moderation is key because this sweet treat is usually packed with saturated fat and calories."
