    I have an uncle who turns 102 this week! if you ask him, he thinks his longevity comes from moonshine and bacon.

    my hubby's grandpa, who lived to be over 100 as well, ate bacon 2x a day for as long as my hubby knew him. AND he did the coffee thing where you brew it with the egg in it most days too

    I'm going for the bacon, egg, coffee & moonshine diet!

    That's a diet I could stick to! :laugh:

    This sounds like the "breakfast eaters are slim" study. Well, yeah. They're not trying to restrict food. I think that explanation is far more likely than there's something "special" about chocolate, or eating breakfast, or any other correlation != causation study that comes out.

    my issue is with the 'moderate' bit

    i just find it so hard to eat it moderately, if i get choccy, i want more and more and more of it.

    What I do is keep the bag at home and then only bring with me my moderate amount to work. Then I cannot get any more and by the time my brain as recieved that I have had chocolate, I don't crave it when I go home and eat the rest.

    The ONLY dark chocolate I can stand is Green & Black's 85% cocoa. It is AMAZING. And very rich. I eat six squares a day (dipped in peanut butter, but it's good plain, too). I buy several bars and break off those squares into a bowl as a dessert after lunch. I never crave more because it's so rich and filling and actually very low in sugar and quite healthy.

    I no longer even like milk chocolate.

    I am pro chocolate. I eat it 2-3 times a day. I would probably shrivel up and die without it. Just saying. Also, it has more iron per once than beef... and some made up healthy stuff in it...

    Only true dark chocolate. Most of the dark chocolate you see in grocery stores isn't true dark.

    How about Jeanne Calment, that French lady that lived past 120? She ate more than two pounds of chocolate a week.

    She also smoked until five years before her death.
