Hmm I know nothing about it actually and I don't buy fair trade chocolate... but it seemed like a good idea.

I'd have to have some kind of gumball machine that only spit out the amount I was supposed to eat per day, or I'd be the same as those that eat the entire bag.

Correlation does not necessarily equal causation. The actual reason could be something like people who eat small portions of chocolate frequently have better self control when it comes to eating, and therefore are also eating reasonable portions throughout their entire diet.

Unfortunately I'd bet that a lot of people will take away from this article that adding a small Hershey's bar to a high calorie diet will lead to weight loss.

edit: I was reminded of an article about a nutrition professor who lost weight eating mostly twinkies and other hostess snacks, but overall a significantly lower amount of calories than he was used to. Lost 26 pounds in two months.

People who eat small portions every few days are slimmer because it's the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight.

Looks like chocolate is full of anti-oxidants too.



I live in a house with three women (wife and two daughters) and there's always chocolate around -- and I'm still a fat S.O.B. Myth busted.
