Chocolate: It's good for you. Or at least pushing it as good for you is good for business.During a talk with analysts this month, Richard H. Lenny, the chief executive of Hershey, called the dark chocolate category a "major growth platform." He told of a new Yale University study - sponsored by Hershey and yet to be peer-reviewed - that found that eating Hershey's Extra Dark chocolate improved blood pressure and blood flow because of the candy's higher level of natural flavanol antioxidants. In the study, 45 people were fed 2.6 ounces (two servings) of Extra Dark, which also contained 420 calories."These results enable us to better communicate with consumers the positive aspects of antioxidants and dark chocolate," Mr. Lenny said.Mmmmm. Dark chocolate.

Special candy bars will help chronically underfed North Korean kids grow big and smart, according to the country's Choson Sinbo newspaper. There's just one hitch: Instead of sugar, chocolate and sweet, sweet nougat, the candy bars contain seaweed, beans, carrots and sesame seeds. "Unlike medications that help growth by clinical methods or hormonal effects, the growth nutritional candy has no negative side effects," the paper crowed. The glowing report about the miracle treat came the same day a top U.N. official said a worsening food shortage in the communist country -- even as it pours money into its pursuit of nuclear weapons -- means North Koreans are subsisting on "starvation rations." -- Lewis Wallace

A Vermont company is recalling a batch of mislabeled chocolate bars shipped to Virginia, North Carolina, and 21 other states because of potential health risks to people with peanut allergies.

Several articles over the past few months have touted the health benefits of chocolate. Cocoa beans, like red wine and green tea, contain natural compounds called flavanols. And studies have shown that flavanols can benefit blood vessels and cardiovascular health. That is the good news. The bad news goes as follows: flavanols make chocolate and cocoa taste bitter, so most chocolate available in candy stores and supermarkets does not contain them, according to a new article from www.cbsnews.com. "Most chocolate, in fact, is not flavanol-rich," says one flavanol expert in the article. Furthermore, he says, "all chocolate is rich in fat and calories."Companies such as Mars Inc., however, are working around the flavanol issue. The company's CocoaVia granola bars are made with a special cocoa powder that retains most of the flavanols, the article says. .

Two people who ate Snickers and Mars bars have sought hospital treatment and 19 have suffered illness following the suspected contamination of the products in New South Wales, Australia.
