The problem will that report is that the people taking comfort from that article will totally miss the word “tiny”. Same happened when French researchers said half a glass of red wine each day may reduce heart problems.

Or maybe, if you’re disciplined enough to eat “tiny portions” you’re disciplined enough to eat in moderation overall. Correlation is not causation disclaimer, I didn’t read/watch the post.

“Recent studies have found dark chocolate and similar cocoa products are contaminated with lead and cadmium…” Across time, I notice more of the dark chocolate brands, including Lindt & Sprüngli, get called out because of traces of metals in their products. Who knows whether any product is safe?!

Hey CNN, there's no need to differentiate between 5 servings and 5 tiny servings! We're adults and 5 tiny servings IS THE SAME as 5 servings - food is measured at a fixed amount PER SERVING... Thanks CNN for suggesting that people are TOO DUMB TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
