1696 - Chocolate was good for you then too!



I have been leafing through William Salmon's 1696 New London Dispensatory and found this entry on cacao and chocolate - it seems that even then it was known to 'fortify nature' and 'preserve health'....and boys - 'create sperm'!

No need - its online, I didn't actually have to go to the Bodleian, so no white gloves!
