If you love chocolate but have always worried that it's not good for you, here's good news. A Chocolate is rich in antioxidants (nearly as much as strawberries and raisins) and stearic acid. You won't be alone in bringing your secret supply of chocolate out of the closet (consumption is up to 12.2 pounds per person from a low of 9.67 pounds in 1983); you can claim, when you eat it, to be doing something good for your heart.
