Warning women that eating chocolate can make them fat may actually drive some to eat more, research from the University of Western Australia (UWA) shows.

The joint study with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland found low restraint eaters - those not on a diet - showed a strong impulse to eat chocolate when presented with negative messaging, including warnings that chocolate could lead to obesity.

Women on a diet were also prone to rebel against attempts to scare them off chocolate, particularly by ads featuring thin models.

Chocolate doesn't make you fat, nor does it cause cavities. Eat your fruits and veggies. Brush and floss. No problem.
My father was a candy maker and my folks had (have) a large candy company. Not a one of us is anywhere near tipping the scales. In fact, we've often been told we're too thin.
Just gotta get that in there when I see "news" like this.
