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'!

Hope you had your white gloves on.
No need - its online, I didn't actually have to go to the Bodleian, so no white gloves!
I have just found a review article http://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/5/5/1573 on chocolate and health!
