Eating Chocolate Regularly May Make You Leaner, Survey Suggests

A survey of about 1,000 Americans that suggests eating chocolate may help people get leaner deserves to be followed up with more study, according to a California-based researcher.

The survey found that those who ate chocolate about five times a week had a body mass index one point lower than those who didn’t indulge, Beatrice Golomb, at the University of California, San Diego, wrote in a letter published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
