The one study I'm talking about is quite interesting, but you can read about the other numerous health benefits of chocolate (real chocolate, not "candy bars").
This also goes for whole vs skim milk. It's been found that CLA (a popular weight loss supplement with good supporting research) is naturally present in the fat portion of milk, which is suggested to be why those who drink homo or 2% milk are usualy thinner than those who drink skim milk (CLA is removed along with the fat).
