Chocolate as Medicine
Which would you rather take to help prevent heart attacks and strokes? Chocolate or aspirin?
Amazingly, researchers in California have found that taking a flavonol rich cacao drink, equates almost exactly to taking a low dose aspirin, when it comes to blood thinning properties.
It seems that the cacao drink acts in a similar way to low dose aspirin in ensuring your blood flows freely -- and the platelets do not stick together, thus reducing the risk of stroke or heart disease.
But as usual with these studies, the boffins urge caution, they stress they are not advocating a couple of candy bars in place of your daily physician prescribed aspirin.
There are a substantial number of people who cannot tolerate aspirin, and possibly for those people, eating flavonol rich cacao may be useful to them.

How To Create Compelling E-mail Offers That Sell Like Crazy
Copyright 2006 Quick Turn Marketing International, Ltd.
If you want to create a dynamic e-mail campaign, you have to offer your clients more than a simple announcement.
Far too often people fall into the trap of believing an announcement is enough to entice their customer.
Unfortunately, an announcement does little to help compel or encourage your clients to buy from you.
If you want customers to buy from you, you're far better off offering "special deals" or a "special offer" than simply offering an announcement.
Why?
An announcement says, "Hey, I have a new product!"
Wow, that's terrific!
But what's in it for the customer?
You have to think about what your customer's needs are and how you are filling them with every contact you make.
An announcement doesn't take these needs into consideration, and that's why far too often announcements fail to produce results.
