Mars Candy Company is trying to sell you a chocolate bar and tell you it’s healthy and will even “promote a healthy heart.”
They say that they “believe” it will increase blood flow, but they have no proof:
”We believe … there can be a significant benefit around blood pressure, but we have not conclusively proven that,” said Mars’ chief scientist Harold Schmitz.
Make them prove it with peer reviewed, double-blind tests before you shell out one penny for their over-priced candy bars. Until they are able to prove it, they are still just selling junk food.

I’m not buying them for health reasons, I’m buying them because they are 2 points on Weight Watchers and are better tasting than some of the WW bars that are only $.50 cheaper.

I don’t really care if they don’t really have all those health benefits, but for 80 calories they are the right amount of sweet and save me from eating a 500 calorie piece of cheesecake or a 280 cal snickers. That’s how it’ll help my heart.
