A Woman’s Dream Come True?

Posted on 05 November 2009

Media hype gets me every time. Earlier today, my friend sent me a link to an article about how chocolate keeps wrinkles away.

Just moments prior I was bemoaning the fact that I had eaten a handful of M&M’s. I was so excited that I went to reception and grabbed another handful of the delicious and miraculous anti-wrinkle candies to munch on while I read the article.

As I began to read, my heart sank and I stopped shoving the M&M’s in my mouth like a mad woman in an attempt to reverse my crow’s feet, *ahem*, laugh lines.

Apparently the chocolate has to be flavanol rich to give you even a smidgen of defence against wrinkles caused by the sun and ‘conventional chocolate has no such effect’.

So basically you need to eat the cocoa bean straight from the tree.

And you know what? Those darned M&M’s do melt in your hand…
