Chocolate contains antioxidants, which mop up harmful free radicals.

Good to see peanut butter there and have heard that one before

i cant get enough of the stuff, especially american brands like Skippy (best for crunchy) and jif (best smooth)

Ooh, yes, Skippy crunchy is fab! I prefer the crunchy type to the smooth. Very sustaining, too - a nice thick spread and you don't feel hungry for ages (also nice to just have a spoon or two by itself).

You're quite the gourmand, clivex.

Agreed Krizon.

Grasshopper only looked on that list to see if amsterdam coffee house cakes were listed...

I get this image of giant chocolate bars gobbling up some dopey hippies

Yes, it took me a while to learn what free radicals meant, the same way as I had no idea what (or who) Radon daughters were - I thought they might be extreme feminist Eastern European dissidents.
