 Part B
New research:
Some researchers were concerned that testing people on
chocolate wasnt very reliable.
The benefits might be all in the mind.
So, they suggested it would be better to have imitation
chocolate too and use fake/imitation bars that looked like
real ones to give people they tested.
Good advice
It is best to have chocolate after a meal.
Its also a good idea to buy dark chocolate as it has less
sugar in it.
It is very difficult to leave unfinished chocolate in the
fridge.
So, buy smaller bars as this means you will eat less, and it
wont matter if you finish them.
