Doctor's orders: Eat your chocolate!

Ahh, sometimes I just love science! I mean, I should, I teach science after all, but I seriously love science today after running across a summary of a study out of Johns Hopkins that suggests that compounds in dark chocolate may protect the brain against stroke injury.

Doctor: "Are you exercising? Eating right? Eating enough chocolate?"
Patient: "Oh, dear, I think I skipped my chocolate today."
Doctor: "Well, be sure to pick up a fudge truffle from the pharmacy on the way out today. Here's a prescription for See's as well."

Yes, I could be happy in that world!
