Hmmm.... some time ago the healthy properties of dark chocolate and red wine were disproved. There was even an article on Care2... Who should I believe?

Teresa the article was about Resveratrol in red wine & dark chocolate.
There isn't enough Resveratrol in red wine to make any significant health difference which would counteract the dangers of drinking it.
This was a lie fabricated by the wine industry, which has been disproven.
The dangers of having even one glass of alcohol a day are well researched & documented.
Dark chocolate has many other benefits, alcohol has none.
