Nutrition: Chocolate Milk May Reduce Inflammation

Pretty cool news, but:

Move over, red wine. Make room for chocolate milk. . . . Researchers noted, however, that the effect was not as pronounced as that seen with red wine.

So, the new kid in town is . . . demonstrably inferior to the champ?

I consume about 45 mL of cocoa powder every morning. I wonder if I'm getting any sort of effective anti-inflammatory effect. I think it makes me feel a little better in general, though I hadn't thought about it specifically with respect to pain.
