Finally?a prescription we WANT to take! Eating about 30 calories a day of dark chocolate is associated with a lowering of blood pressure, without weight gain or other adverse effects. And scientists now insist that chocolate isn’t REALLY addictive.

Previous research has indicated that consumption of high amounts of cocoa-containing foods can lower blood pressure, due to the action of the an ingredient called polyphenol in the cocoa.

In LiveScience.com, Michael Schirber quotes engineer Etnel Straatsma as saying, “I want to get rid of the image of a cylindrical body with wings.” She is designing a saucer-shaped plane using lighter materials that releases 50% less carbon dioxide than conventional aircraft.
