There are two types of people in the world-those who love chocolate and those who will soon. Perhaps this is why philosophers originally coined the phrase we are all one. Once you understand the concept, life becomes considerably easier.
I truly believe that chocolate is the single most-loved food in the world. This book is dedicated to all of you: the chocolate lovers of the world.
Warning: Do not attempt to read this book without a dark chocolate bar in hand .

Acknowledgments
A special thank-you to my beautiful children, Britt and Blake, who endured years of product testing and research. They were unconditionally supportive of my efforts, repeatedly requesting more chocolate-based experiments to make certain we had everything right. Most importantly, they reminded me time and again to apply to myself what I always tell them: Hold on to your dreams until they come true.
Thank you to our longtime chocolatier Mary Carol, the woman behind the curtain who helped me turn a dream into reality at the first Chocolate Therapist shop. I d also like to thank Rose Potts of Blommer Chocolate Company and Ann Noble for allowing me to publish their chocolate flavor and wine aroma wheels, respectively, in this book. And thank you, of course, to my hilarious and supportive staff.
Thank you, Dave, for being my personal 9-1-1 support man, for fixing everything that breaks with Swiss perfection and for reminding me that no matter how challenging things get, I still get to eat chocolate every day.
Thank you Maryann, my fabulous graphic artist, for turning all the wild ideas in my mind into beautiful logos, wrappers, art, and brand concepts.
I truly believe Lawrence Kushner s magical words: Everyone carries with them at least one piece to someone else s puzzle. God bless each of you.
Introduction
A FEW SHORT DECADES AGO smoking was harmless and cool, drinking a glass of red wine a day was the sign of a problem drinker, and eating bread and carbohydrates was the best way to lose weight. Even chocolate was considered bad for you. Fortunately, those days are behind us. We now know that smoking causes cancer, a daily glass of red wine is good for your heart, and one of the best ways to lose weight is by following a reduced-carbohydrate diet. Yet the most exciting news is that chocolate and healthy can finally be used in the same sentence. The Age of Chocolate has arrived.
It s been more than ten years since the original version of The Chocolate Therapist was published, and supporting research about the health benefits of chocolate continues to pour in. With the momentum growing, I wanted to include the most recent and relevant research. When I wrote the first version of the book, I didn t own a chocolate company. Now that I do, I have firsthand knowledge that people are embracing the chocolate-for-health concept, and it s better than ever.
Chocolate has a variety of benefits for the body, such as mood-lifting neurotransmitters and powerful antioxidants. Chocolate also contains a healthy supply of vitamins and minerals and even stimulates the brain into releasing endorphins. In fact, once you ve finished reading this book, you ll discover that it s possible to eat a little chocolate every day, guilt-free and without gaining weight. Admittedly, this statement seems too good to be true. I doubted it myself until a simple event triggered a full-scale investigation.
While deleting a collection of junk e-mail ads for guaranteed depression cures, weight-loss pills, and bedroom stimulants, I came across a single intriguing message titled Why Chocolate Is Good for You. When I opened it, I discovered the following interesting facts: (1) Chocolate has more antioxidants by weight than red wine. (2) Chocolate releases endorphins in the brain that have been proven to uplift moods and reduce the sensation of pain. (3) Chocolate contains hundreds of flavor compounds and plant chemicals, many of which aren t found in other plants and benefit the body in some way as well.
The list went on, and the news got better with every sentence. As I surveyed my computer screen more closely, I realized that the email for chocolate had arrived directly between the advertisements of our most pressing health issues. Having reviewed the informative essentials, I pondered, Wouldn t it be convenient if chocolate could solve our health problems?
All of this happened more than ten years ago, back when I had a career but had always longed to chase my capricious, creative heart. I d entertained the idea of writing a book for quite some time, and I wanted to write on a subject I felt passionate about. I d spent most of my life studying nutrition in one form or another. I was a competitive athlete in my youth, which required paying constant attention to a diet that would help me perform at my personal best. My father was a nutritionist. I studied nutrition in college, spent much of my reading time poring over the latest diet books, and even had my nutrition certification.
In fact, at any given time during my life, you d more likely find me reading a diet or nutrition book as opposed to the latest best seller. I tried many of the diets, sometimes to lose weight and other times just to see how they affected the body. In what might have been a bit of a contradiction, I loved chocolate just as much as nutrition. The moment I read the Why Chocolate Is Good for You e-mail, I knew that was my topic. The timing was good because I had just sold my small corporate apparel company, so I set about rese
