The study claimed that not only does chocolate accelerate weight loss, but it leads to healthier cholesterol levels and overall increased well-being. It appeared on the front page of Bild, Europe's largest daily newspaper, just beneath their update about the Germanwings crash.
Moreover, it made news in more than 20 countries where it was discussed on television news shows and appeared in glossy prints.
