Seems like 1/6 oz of dark chocolate can help endurance. This is good news for those of us who like chocolate:
“...five grams of dark chocolate daily, or just a sixth of an ounce — about half of one square of a typical chocolate bar — is probably a reasonable human dose if your aim is to intensify the effects of a workout.”
But this is bad news:

Darn, I thought moderation in the pursuit of chocolate was a bad thing.
