Rx for pregnant moms: chocolate
I don't usually read the Journal of Epidemiology. But I will when it publishes findings entitled
Chocolate Consumption in Pregnancy and Reduced Likelihood of Preeclampsia
From the abstract:
Background: Preeclampsia is a major pregnancy complication with cardiovascular manifestations. Recent studies suggest that chocolate consumption may benefit cardiovascular health.
The methods I won't reprint, as they're a load of mumbo-jumbo to science dummies like me. But the findings are oh, so pure:
Conclusions: Our results suggest that chocolate consumption during pregnancy may lower risk of preeclampsia.
Now hand over that Kit-Kat. It's for my health.
