[QUOTE="graj0, post: 862918"] I think the very first warning was the simple fact that it was in a newspaper and even worse than that, it was the Express, not exactly known for it's accurate reporting of medical matters. I think one of the problems with the research that they are supposed to be reporting is that they are looking at three different groups of people. If you wanted to compare the effect of eating chocolate, surely you'd have to get the same people to try LC, then LC with chocolate and then a third session without any change in diet. One thing I noticed further down is they say you can eat chocolate but must exercise as well, so that makes it different to the LC non chocolate group. As it was only 42 gms of dark chocolate, that's about 180 calories, a bit of exercise could easily burn that up and more. So a few flaws in their research, now I've read the second link, I think they could have tried harder to make it more convincing. I've not read the Washington Post Link yet. [/QUOTE]
