Bring on the Milky Way bars

Via Glenn, Mars is adding a scientific division.

All the talk about chocolate being good for your health is starting to get serious. Mars Inc., of chocolate bar fame, has established a scientific division.

And a group of researchers, some in Germany, others with the new Mars division known as Symbioscience, has just published a report showing that an enriched hot cocoa beverage can improve blood flow in people with type 2 diabetes.

“The study is the first of its kind in terms of its rigor, as well as the population studied,” said Harold Schmitz, chief science officer of Mars. “Diabetics treated as well as they could be treated with pharmaceutical intervention did see, on average, a 30 percent improvement in vascular function.”

Out of the goodness of my heart—and purely in the interests of advancing science—I am hereby offering myself to join any and all of Mars scientific testing. Particularly the ones involving Milky Way bars.

Please, Glenn. Let Mars know that I’m with them, 100%.
