ORAC Schmorac - Just Give me Dark Chocolate!

THIS has completely made my day!
While perusing the Hershey's site (steadily snarfing down dark chocolate miniatures that a colleague shares on his desk) for nutritional information I received some ultra-good news. Dark Chocolate has an extremely high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity - a measure of antioxidant power) value. This was documented by data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Double WooHoo! I'm so happy I posted the statistics as my screen saver and passed out miniatures to coworkers. Here again is further proof that God must be a woman. Antioxidants - Nutritional Information - HERSHEY'S
