MSNBC and Entrepreneur.com have identified the truth. People keep eating chocolate during a recession. Even a Great Recession. Why? Because they can, because they need to, because they can afford at least one bite. Per writer Amy Reinink: Simple Luxuries Thrive in Depressed Economy Beer, chocolate and video games. People find comfort on a tight budget with these recession-proof products. Chocolate Davidson Chocolateisnt the only chocolate company to enjoy a recent boom in business.

No, just tired of seeing enough proof already.Per US New and World Report:Chocolate Helps Heart Attack SurvivorsEating chocolate can reduce heart attack survivors' risk of dying, say researchers who followed 1,169 Swedish men and women, ages 45 to 70, from the time they were hospitalized with their first heart attack in the early 1990s.Those who ate chocolate two or more times a week were about three times less likely to die from heart disease than those who never ate chocolate, the study found. Smaller amounts of chocolate also offered some protection,Agence France Presse reported.The study, which appears in the September issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine, is believed to be the first to demonstrate that chocolate can help prevent death in heart attack survivors."Our findings support increasing evidence that chocolate is a rich source of beneficial bioactive compounds," the researchers wrote.So instead of that...
