Re: [rosacea] Dark Chocolate and Flavanoids [was maltodextrin]

ROFL....that moderation will get you everytime! My downfall too! I love chocolate -- all except white chocolate (which from what I've heard isn't really chocolate) but I could easily give up milk chocolate if I was 'allowed' dark chocolate. As for the wine -- especially red, no temptation there. I prefer sweet German wines.

I'm not sure about dark chocolate necessarily being all that
rosacea-friendly, but some recent studies suggest that dark chocolate
(not milk chocolate unfortunately) is extremely high in beneficial
flavonoids which may help regulate blood pressure, cholesterol levels
and interestingly even insulin levels:

Evidently moderation is in order (CURSE YOU MODERATION!), but it's
always nice to learn that something so good might also be so good for
you, right? And in my mind, there's nothing better than enjoying a
good piece of dark chocolate with a great glass of red wine (double
your flavonoids and double your pleasure)...

don't care much for Butterfingers but I do like those new
Buttterfingers -- the wafer kind. My drug of choice is Reeces Pieces
and I'm not good at stopping at the snack sized ones. My very
favorite though is DARK chocolate. Any chance that DARK chocolate is
safe to eat?????
