I believe it's the phenols that's heart-healthy (doesn't balance out
the detriment of the alcohol, though) - it's also good for
antioxidants but no one talks about that.  Really, grapes and other
fruits/veggies will render similar results (and you get the other
goodness of fruits/veggies as well).

But yes, doubling up on the dark chocolate can't hurt.  :)

Good luck, Lee!  I'm sending thoughts of the best NYC chocolatiers to you.
