Red wine, chocolate not linked to longevityANI | May 13, 2014, 01.18 PM IST
Researchers have found that the antioxidant resveratrol found in red wine, chocolate and grapes is not linked with longevity or the incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer and inflammation ...
What the hell has gotten into scientists nowadays?
It's been well-known since forever that there's just nothing better, for whatever ails, than red wine and chocolate
You know who's behind this bogus research? The insurance companies, that's who! The bastards just don't want to pay for my red wine and chocolate -- cuz I'm pretty sure my doc was about to cave and write me an actual prescription for red wine and chocolate, if only so he wouldn't have listen to my constant whining Pleeeeeze! O, pleeeeeeeeze!
Fuck this disgraceful bullshit research!

was unsweet dark.
So dark, with no milkfat or sugar...it's bitter as f**k. (I love it...but lets not confuse it with chocolate most people want to eat.)
Edit: I just looked at the picture, clearly you love it too.

Getting paid to drink wine and eat chocolate just sounds an awesome deal to me.

You'd have to agree that, for the duration of the experiment, you'll abstain from wine and chocolate, so that they can do a valid comparison.
As long as there is choc'late in the end, it's fine.
