I knew eventually I'd be eating a healthy diet
A new study says munching chocolate will make you healthy, smarter and stop heart attacks.
Well at least it was going well until I read about it in the Guardian
"This new study, based on nearly 1,000 people from New York, is not the first to link chocolate to brain function, but what it actually tells us remains very vague. “It’s not possible to talk about causality, because that’s nearly impossible to prove with our design,” said one of the researchers, meaning that we can’t tell whether clever people like chocolate or chocolate makes you clever. Or indeed if there is something messier going on."

The article in the Telegraph is much better alluding to much more, making less of the facts and giving lots of great pictures of chocolate cakes
"It's good for your heart, reduces the risk of strokes and even helps protect your skin from the sun.
Now, another apparent benefit has been added to the list of chocolate's nutritional qualities: it makes you smarter.
A study, published recently in the journal, Appetite, indicated that people who eat chocolate at least once a week saw their memory and abstract thinking improve.
“It's significant – it touches a number of cognitive domains,” psychologist Merrill Elias, one of the leaders of the study, told the Washington Post."

The Sun has an even better take on it:
Yes, Smarties do have the answer: Eating chocolate DOES make you brainier - The Sun
"Study finds that people who eat sweet treat weekly get memory boost"
So in the interests of selective journalism and weak facts, I'll go with the Sun and stock up on chocolate!
