A Chocolate a Day: Keeps the Doctor Away

by John F. Ashton, Suzy Ashton

Chocolate is irresistible! What is it about chocolate that makes us go starry eyed and blissful, forgetting everything else around us? What is it about giving or receiving a gift of little, sweet, bite-sized pieces of heaven that invokes such feelings of happiness? For any chocoholic the first taste of this exquisite food can delight in a way that nothing else can. When you eventually float back down from chocolate heaven, the expectation of the next bite can keep your taste buds tingling in anticipation. But all along, we’ve also had the nagging feelings of guilt associated with eating “junk food.” Until now.

According to Dr. John Ashton and Suzy Ashton, two respected food researchers, we can almost consider chocolate a health food! Chock full of antioxidants, and an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, chocolate doesn’t deserve its bad reputation. Within a well-balanced diet, regular consumption of moderate amounts of chocolate can actually be good for us!

This humorous, light-hearted book, is the perfect gift for any chocolate lover, proving dreams really can come true.

This book has helpful information and I will keep it as a reference. I was disappointed that it did not have a summary at the end to give you a bottom line as to the best chocolate bars to eat. I was hoping for some specific names, or a rating of popular bars.
