The Leonard Lopate Show: Chock Full of Chocolate

Chock Full of Chocolate

Recently, science has confirmed what chocolate lovers have always known: the stuff is actually good for you. It has more antioxidants than red wine, and it triggers the same brain responses as falling in love. Ruth Reichl, editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, chocolatier Jacques Torres, and James Beard award winner Mort Rosenblum, author of Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light, discuss the beloved confection.
