Some research on the cardiovascular benefits of dark chocolate puts that limit at 50 grams a day, or just under 2 ounces. Remember that chocolate has calories in it!

It's #WorldChocolateDay! Dark chocolate contains many biologically active components from cocoa, including catechins, procyanidins and theobromine. https://t.co/gcbhJtgIq5 https://t.co/AmQaCKbDBA
