Chocolate 'aids fatigue syndrome'

A daily dose of dark chocolate may help reduce the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, say UK researchers.
Patients in a pilot study found they had less fatigue when eating dark chocolate with a high cocoa content than with white chocolate dyed brown.

The researchers from Hull York Medical School said the results were surprising but dark chocolate may be having an effect on the brain chemical serotonin.

Dark chocolate contains flavonoids which are good for the heart. Seems like anything dark has healthy properties: dark beer, dark or wheat bread, brown rice, red wine, etc.
