How good is this news?! Hugs, Teri :)

"Eating dark chocolate may help lower blood pressure, boost normal responses to insulin to keep blood sugar levels down, and improve blood vessel function in patients with high blood pressure, according to new research findings. All of these effects would be expected to decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke."

Well, it's good to see you! Bring the article back up so we can all see it - this particular article was just released - so it would be interesting to see if it was the same, or not?!

Hugs, Teri :)

PS It's been a long time since we've seen you here! I hope you are doing alright??
