How about broadening the scope of your research to all types of chocolate (dark, milk and perhaps even white)?

It depends on the cocoa mass content.

@Andrew:
No, of course chocolate contains a lot of sugar,
but a little sugar is necessary. Just don't overdo it.

@Andrew:
That sugar from the chocolate can be handy
in the cold winters, especially when you are
near the North Pole.

I have found this old Dutch cocoa tin with the image of a nurse on it:

(/users/hparkh/droste.jpg)

That image suggests that chocolate is in fact healthy.

You make interesting points about the sugar.
However, I disagree with Catherine: sugar is Bad
although I understand Georgina: it can be very cold
and that requires the energy from the sugar.

Kind regards from mrs. Montessori
