Too good to be true!

Nuts, doesn't it just make your day when you find out that something you really really wanted to think was true, probably isn't?  My Father was one who always said, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't."  So all these stinking wonderful stories about the health benefits of chocolate are probably bad science at work!  Well, drat!  What a buzzkill that sort of thing is.  What to do?  Well, deny it of course!  What kind of left-wing, commie-pinko, agenda is being pushed here?   As a good chocolate-eating, red-meat consuming (Oh wait, that's not as bad as they thought!  Sorry.) partiotic 'Mercan, the Phactor is just plain suspicious of their motives here, or just doesn't care all that much to change habits.  So, get that steak over here; hold the chocolate sauce.
