Since the 1700s, cocoa has been associated with healthy hearts, but only recently has scientific evidence backed up these claims, according to a new report in the Feb. 27 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
According to the study, cocoa contains flavan-3-ols, which have been linked to lower blood pressure and improved function of the cells lining the blood vessels.
In their study, researchers led by Brian Buijsse, of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, in Bilthoven, examined links between cocoa and cardiovascular health in 470 men aged 65 to 84 years. The men had physical examinations and were interviewed about their diet at the start of the study in 1985 and then again in 1990 and 1995.
The researchers found that over a 15-year period, men who ate cocoa -- including chocolate -- regularly had significantly lower blood pressure compared with those who didn't.
The sweet treat might even help ward off death. The researchers reported that 314 men died over the course of the study, with 152 of those deaths blamed on heart disease. Men who consumed the highest amount of cocoa were half as likely to die from cardiovascular disease, compared to men who ate little or no cocoa, the team found. In addition, men who ate the most cocoa were less likely to die from any causes.
For these men, the risk remained low even after taking into account other factors, such as weight, smoking, physical activity, calorie intake and drinking alcohol, the researchers found.
The researchers believe that the lowered death risk didn't stem so much from lowered blood pressure, as from other heart-healthy benefits linked to flavan-3-ols. And since cocoa is rich in antioxidants, it may also protect against other diseases linked to oxidative stress, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and certain types of cancer, the researchers speculated.
One expert said the study helps confirm the use of cocoa as part of a healthful diet.
"Cocoa is the most concentrated source of bioflavonoid antioxidants readily available in our diets," said Dr. David L. Katz, an associate professor of public health, and director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine.

With a title like that do you really need the highly seasoned stew made of several kinds of fish and shellfish? I prefer Gumbo. But only if I know what went in it. Too bad about the genetic modifications in the vegetables, but some things can't be helped, just ask the other Guinea Pigs; as we cant ask the missing specialities of species gone or going by, boiled on low heat, reduced or run away to the land of myth and archaeology. This could be you, tool. So, lap it up while it's hot and the getting is good. "I think this deal is going to be killed," Kean said. "The question is how much damage is this going to do to us before it's killed." The development came as police appeared to be closing in on the robbery gang. The remarkable fossil bones of a fur-covered, swimming mammal that lived in the age of the dinosaurs 164 million years ago have been discovered in China, raising a wave of excitement among scientists whose timetable for mammalian evolution has just been pushed back by 100 million years. Extra Extra!! Fossil turns back clock / New find in China shows mammals were larger and appeared earlier than believed, living side by side with dinosaurs instead of after them Castorocauda lutrasimilis is believed to have resembled a river otter or platypus and ate fish.
But we do make up a lot as we go.

"After careful review by our government, I believe the transaction ought to go forward," he told reporters after summoning them to his conference room aboard Air Force One. He called the arrangement "a legitimate deal that will not jeopardize the security of the country." "I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company," Bush said. "I am trying to conduct foreign policy now by saying to the people of the world: 'We'll treat you fairly.' " The president spoke about the issue a second time after returning to the White House aboard a helicopter from Andrews Air Force Base. "They ought to listen to what I have to say about this," Bush said. "They'll look at the facts and understand the consequences of what they're going to do. But if they pass a law, I'll deal with it with a veto." In more than five years, Bush has yet to veto any legislation.

Every day on the way to work, we run the risk of coming into contact with people who are sick, or carrying germs that can make us sick. When we finally get there, we're relieved. While our offices may not always be neat, they're clean. Right? Wrong. "Most people don't do anything to their desk until they are sticking to it," said Dr. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist. "In fact, we find four hundred times more bacteria on a desktop that we do on most toilet seats," he added. He says our keyboard, computer mouses, phones and desktops are covered with germs that could make us sick. And if like millions of other hard-working Americans, you eat at your desk, you've also been feeding millions of microscopic moochers.

Jasmine Roberts never expected her award-winning middle school science project to get so much attention. But the project produced some disturbing results: 70 percent of the time, ice from fast food restaurants was dirtier than toilet water. The 12-year-old collected ice samples from five restaurants in South Florida — from both self-serve machines inside the restaurant and from drive-thru windows. She then collected toilet water samples from the same restaurants and tested all of them for bacteria at the University of South Florida. In several cases, the ice tested positive for E. coli bacteria, which comes from human waste and has been linked to several illness outbreaks across the country.

I was going to post a bunch of "news", but who needs it? It's all too real, too comical, too much. Better to go mad in a stream of something like consciousness, and regurgitate it up into print, no bib necessary. All of my sentences will now come with a four syllable word, it pisses off those who liked me for my good sex and gruntspeak, and makes the big brains swoon in the wordy glee lying opposite; but they all (fucking) do it. What four syllables? I don't know what you're talking about. Hey, now let me lie my razor upon your skin, not to lay open, but to cut down smooth like wheat waiting for picking up and now for the funky bread, bugs included! What could anyone ever say to prick the skin of this beast we all can't stop riding or even steer?

Oil rose the most in a month in New York as Nigerian rebels threatened more attacks after cutting output from Africa's largest producer by about 20 percent. Crude oil for March delivery rose as much as 2.7 percent to $61.50 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude oil for April delivery rose $1.65 a barrel to close at $61.54 in London.
Thanks to a special act of Congress and the recently adopted judging system, the United States was able to come away with its first ice dance medal in 30 years last night. Belbin and Agosto never really challenged for the gold, as the former slightly stumbled during the flamenco medley. The Canadian-born Belbin was sworn in as a U.S. citizen Dec. 31 after a special bill allowing “aliens of extraordinary ability” to reduce the required five-year waiting period for naturalization to three was enacted into law by President Bash Dec. 30, 2005.

A 63-year-old Fort Worth man was killed and his wife was critically injured just after noon on Sunday after their snowmobile collided with a minivan in upstate New York, troopers said.Thomas M. Taylor, 63, and his wife, Linda, 57, were riding in a snowmobile along a trail in the Adirondack Mountains when they attempted to cross County Route 60 in the town of Brighton, according to a news release issued by New York state police. The westbound snowmobile, driven by Thomas Taylor, failed to yield the right of way and was struck by a 2000 Dodge Caravan traveling north along the road, the release stated.
The image of 7-year-old Noah Yates floating face down in the murky brown water that filled a bathtub after he and his four siblings were drowned is something Andrea Yates' defense attorney doesn't want jurors to see during her second capital murder trial. Yates' attorney George Parnham filed 30 pretrial motions, which were made public Monday, including one requesting "any and all photographs" of her children not be shown to jurors during the trial set to begin March 20. Parnham claims the photographs could cause jurors to be unfairly prejudiced or serve to confuse and mislead them.

China on Thursday defended its right to police the Internet, one day after four American technology giants appeared before Congress on charges they collaborated with Beijing to crush free speech online in return for market access. "The vice president was involved in a terrible accident and it profoundly affected him," Conbush said in an oval office photo opportunity. "Yesterday when he was here in the oval office, I saw the deep concern he had about a person who he wounded." The material, gathered by the army's criminal investigation division, included 1,325 photographs and 93 video clips of suspected abuse of detainees, 546 photographs of suspected dead Iraqi detainees, as well as 660 images of adult pornography, and 29 pictures of US troops engaged in simulated sex acts. An extensive dog hunt was begun yesterday at Kennedy International Airport when a prize-winning whippet from the Westminster Kennel Club show escaped from her cage yesterday afternoon, officials of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said. Mr. Feingold was the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act, which broadened government surveillance powers, when it was passed by Congress shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Mr. Jerkoff was repeatedly asked why, on the day after the storm, he went to a meeting on avian flu in Atlanta. He said that when he went to bed on Monday, it was "my belief the storm had not done the worst that had been imagined". Senator Blah Blahblah asked, "How could you go to bed... not knowing what was going on in New Orleans?"

Number 171 and still in your motherfucking face, by which I mean I don't give a fuck that you've been online since '96, or how many post toasties you've vomited into space, face, love me please, race. Men are all here scheming, even the sexless and mole rat of us, and women seeking the security that doesn't exist at all, but for the moment of happy place on a shoulder or tucked up nicely in spooned bliss like for a minute, then you wake up and have to climb those hills all over again; and the t-bones are seldom seen before the corner of your eye catches, and then it's "oh", you rarely get the "shit" out, before crunch comes and the sickening spin, or pushy push; but we almost always get to re-see our whole life in hundreths of a second, I guess that's just what we come down to, a flicker of images culled from the deck.

Sorry, I used to believe(just yesterday) that people shouldn't dumb down anything but make the masses rise up to it, then I remembered the best movie of all time is Dumb & Dumber, and that this is all a dream anyway.

Cap Say Sin{Capsaicin}
So the eyes, are the windows to the souls, I guess the mouths must be, slamming doors; make that swinging gates, and we the children running in and out; and again! Write down all the notes and sing it or not, but all out with it; in blood sweat and tears, as our own, are to near and dear, to us. You love the others drama make up stories for the thread boat to China, shreds broken down dyed and recast as whole cloth. No time for two times. Disposable my ass, go climb landfill Texas, but watch out for the vents. Incredible gases but no frogs no snakes no pests and you can't drink the water but the tanker comes to fill your tank on Friday; and the injection wells hum on, cap it and down the road. Wildcatting is fun, but the toxicity and effect show is better, and at these half-life prices the show will never end(especially if you're easily amused like me, and love the sight of oilswirl on water).
I wonder what this will all look like in another million years?

Poor Lebanon,
they're so ebullient.
There's too much politics, and too much religion, but not enough miracles, only division. For what? Like worry, usually nothing, or the wrong thing. While the rose that smelled as sweet was there all along, all about you within and without, that humming in your ears and nose. Stardust and knowing stolen moments of laughter that make two one, it goes out and on forever(so I dream);
just like the starlight reaches us.
Now for my poisoned baklava.

Upward price pressures and green things pop in spring. Buds galore, whites and pinks and greens, leave stop their hiding to shade the pulp; the heat comes quick and stays long here, and it won't be shining any less bright in future. Sheep led to slaughter, no sustenance and no water. They don't even have to go subliminal, it's all out in the open, right up in your face with a logo for every occasion.

This isn't my journal, it's my, can't stop myself. No one here isn't hurting some. From then, or now, or one or the other; and I won't even go into the futures missing fingernails. I wish I could lay my hand on your belly, and take all the wrongs from within, and in counterclockwise rubs, erase them. To give you a sigh like a cry that could help you breath again, one of the 100 different sighs we have; but I only give out the good and the bad, never the one that stops the clock of worry. I don't even know how to say it or what "it" is, I only know it exists(like a black hole) because of its gravity; that and the pull we push against.

The biggest roars of the 2,000 fans came when Michaela Hutchison escaped for a 1-0 win over Colony's Aaron Boss, becoming the first girl in U.S. history to win a state wrestling championship while competing against boys. A suspected nerve agent forced the evacuation of a U.S. Senate office building late on Wednesday until tests concluded the vapor that set off the alarm was hot air, police said. Meet the great grand-daddy of fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, a 160-million-year-old "crowned dragon" with a comb on its head, fuzz on its body and extra fingers. There is also an unspecified insurance contribution in the proposed settlement, which will not have any admission of wrongdoing by Nortel or any other defendants(short of the $2.47bn settlement). Photographs of singer Britney Spears driving a car with her baby son on her lap have been published globally. President Bush called on governments around the world on Wednesday to halt the violence(Whew, I thought I might laugh until I gave myself a sports hernia) that has followed the publication of cartoons of the Prophet {Clear Throat Here}, while Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accused Iran and Syria of fueling the protests for political gain. Their condemned the violence on a day in which police officers fired into a crowd marching toward an American military base in Qalat, Afghanistan, killing three(nice editing The NY Times, real...grammary).

Love Drunk Love
I love the B's. Bee, 5b, 3b, 1b. Scratch me in graphite. Or pen. Forever. Sketchy or black black, washed in with a palm, touched with fingertip. With loving care, or smushed frustration. Come in through to me, and never far enough away to lose the signal. I mumble; and pens and pencils and words can never say in black relief, my bas heart beating, thump thump for you. Nothing does as I will it would, to tattoo my thoughts like ink on skin, to show it's more than just talk talk; and no laser can scrape it away. Gin and juice, blood and bile, wet and hard, soft like twin smiles, that won't wipe; wont is all we know, wont to banshee wail, and stone sleep. All my comma's will come for me, bang me in my dreams and pause, so I'll remember the the part, where the blade slips in between my ribs. Fucking them with your eyes, and eye fucking, are not the same.

Oh foul heart, betrayer of me in projection on them, and of myself, when too little hits too late; we would say we knew them too well, but never knew them at all. It takes time to knock down walls; but mostly we rebuild from our old blocks or build brand new ones, vast stretches in mazed directions, and all of them have totem tops from spearpoint to dollhead to glass, set in mortar. 99.9% the same, we sure pack a lot of fucked up difference in that 0.1%; now we can fight in haplogroup teams, first up is R1b vs. J2.

"Britney Spears" is an exact anagram of "Presbyterians." Axl Rose = oral sex. Gore Vidal = I love drag. Semolina = is no meal. George Herbert Walker Bush = Huge berserk rebel warthog. Election promises = Come-ons, lies, tripe! A decimal point = I'm a dot in place. Desperation(?) = A rope ends it. Evangelist = Evil's agent. Conversation = Voices rant on. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. = Epicede to pall Indigence: I salute the fair Dollar, of the free capitalist economy, and the biotic need, which it funds, a big gold ingot, glittering, with a job, fuel, assets, land and revenue for all.

The tanker, which is also double-bottomed, was carrying nearly 4 million gallons of Vacuum Tower Bottom Blend, a residual, asphalt-like oil that is not refined at Tesoro's Nikiski facility. It was also carrying nearly a million gallons of bunker oil, petrol, heavy vacuum gas oil and diesel fuel. The teenager suspected of a hatchet-and-gun attack in a Massachusetts gay bar and in the killing of two people in Arkansas, including a policeman, died Sunday of wounds suffered in a gun battle with officers, authorities said. A spacesuit tossed out of the international space station was supposed to float through space, talking to radio operators around the globe. The suit, stuffed with old clothes and a radio transmitter, orbited Earth twice on Friday, giving off faint signals to Japan. But then the suit, called Ivan Ivanovich, apparently went silent.

More Stolen Words
i am a little flower
i am sitting in a vintage camisole and crumpled yellow pajama pants, i brushed my hair, and washed my face and brushed and flossed my teeth, i look either very young or very old, i never can tell. my stomach protrudes here and there under the clingy fabric of my camisole. i am waiting for the percocets i took to fill in my voids.
i wonder if my fate rests on my flaws, i have so many, my hysterias and my many physical let downs, my skin, my hair, my stomach, i see blemishes and veins and scars, and i wonder if i'm as grotesque as i think i am. i see so many dissatisfactions but then, i'm always looking for them. if i was pretty i wouldn't be happy, i know that, at least, but if i was happy would i be attractive? i want to believe i want to be alone. but i don't tonight, i'm in a terrible state. and i want to know what it is that breaks through indifference, i want to know what it takes to be cared about.
have i committed too many crimes to be loved? i seem to believe it, it might be a self-actualizing delusion on my part. i don't have pity about this, i don't have pity for me, because it is true that in my life i have been very undeserving of solace, i have pushed it away and denied it to others. i haven't been receptive to anything except that which feeds my miserable concept of this world.
i have a small hope though, that if i had a chance, that it would change my concept irrevocably. i know i have something positive in me, that i could share. sigh, if i wasn't so difficult. i so wish i hadn't been so wrong about everything.
i'm just a girl, i'm just a dumb girl and i need to be tucked in and read to and talked to sweetly, and i'd be so good, i really would. i'm just simple and i want to be good, you wouldn't believe it.

What's a man to do?(Three MC's and one DJ)
I am a married woman who is unhappy with her sex life. No need to go into details as we are both looking for nsa fun, no freaks please, I am not very picky as long as you are courteous and clean and absolutely discrete about this.
MWF, 24 years old, short, but i have a nice body and face I need to add something to my sex life, its so boring, so i was talking to some of my girlfriends, and they told me to try looking online for some guys to have a fling with. Its something new, so why not give it a shot right? I am not a hard girl to please, and i dont need to get flowers or anything, just feeling a man touch and rub my, is all i need to get turned on I need a wild man
My wife is 34, 5'9", 34D, Brunette. I am giving her a fantasy birthday. She wants to be gangbanged by a group of younger guys. I will be there for her protection only - NO GAY SHIT. You must be young, and in great shape. Responses without pictures will not be opened. Before she invites you, she MUST see your face and body/cock. We are looking to do it this weekend, so don;t aste our time.
I have this fetish of having sex in the stairwell of my building. I have done it quite a few times and I just love it. My husband goes to work at 8 and comes back arounf 6, so anytime between that, you just meet me in the lobby, we go to the stair case and there we make passionate love under the stair. Just writing about it makes me wet, lol. Hubby is a bore and only does it missionary, too bad for him, hehe
Are you grown, or just old?
I thought you were different....wow, my intuition is so totally out of balance that I know its time to give it up. I just want to know one thing, why is a 40 year old man still playing games. Is it the need to feel as though you still have what it takes, because if that’s the case then consider yourself a failure. Real men don’t feel the need to prove themselves. What I cant understand is how I could be as direct with you as I was, when I told you I wasn’t looking for stupid **** , and your response was that you weren’t either. You said you wanted serious...OK...I was serious...but I told you, I’m not chasing anyone. If you weren’t interested, all you had to do was say so. We agreed on that. Not necessary at all to hide in the shadows and see how long it would take before I gave up. If you’re looking for something better, no hard feelings, I never claimed to be perfect, but I did ask for honesty and you said you could provide that. Enlighten me here, because for the life of me I cant understand why anyone would get involved in a situation they’re not interested in pursuing, when all they had to do was say the word and I would have left it alone. Guess all I need to say is “Be a man”, grow up....you’re not in high school anymore. I’m out....your loss....recover soon so you can get out there and play someone new!
Three Franks and No Sense
I Love Frank Capra's propaganda, Frank Baum's book, and Frank Black's music. The Lords of the militaryindustrialcongressional complex, reign supreme, oil the back backer and greek chorus; and you know this is all a tragedy. Can the camera world save us from ourselves? I doubt it, crevices always remain in the source code, and the weeds will out. Meaning we, are the coldest continent; Ant Artic uh, just the worlds last ice cubes. Too Late for Green Land; everything will change now, as you learn the truest definition of "fucking yourself." All for a little, all for naught, all in, as always. Say what? That's on a need to know basis, Sir. 0-1 K a scene is the price for stardom paid, in sweat showing what god only saw before; but it was always there, how do you think we got here? Sex is our great eek, moreso than tribe or creed or sect; we use it to sell everything, but can't talk about it openly, honestly, bizarro.
