A man found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and she gave him three wishes. The man wished for a million dollars, and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women... poof! he turned into a box of chocolates. The health benefits of eating dark chocolate have been extolled for centuries, but the exact reason has remained a mystery -- until now. Researchers reported that certain bacteria in the stomach gobble the chocolate and ferment it into anti-inflammatory compounds that are good for the heart. The good microbes, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, feast on chocolate, one researcher said. When you eat dark chocolate, they grow and ferment it, producing compounds that are anti-inflammatory.
