National Dark Chocolate Day
Dark chocolate is one of the most studied foods in nutrition science and still unproven: 21,442 adults took cocoa flavanols for years and saw no drop in cardiovascular events. February 1 says eat it for the taste.
Celebration of Chocolate Month
Chocolate was a drink in Europe for about 300 years before a Dutch press in 1828 made a bar possible. Celebration of Chocolate Month gives all of February to the candy that came last.
