Chocolate Cake for Breakfast · 7:04pm Jun 11th, 2016
Good news for humans and alicorns (found on Instapundit). New research shows chocolate cake for breakfast may⁽*⁾ help you lose weight.
(*) or not.
Rumors of this research being funded by extra-terrestrial entities is entirely false. Really.

Actually, I heard it was meant to supercharge your brain with energy for the day.
I mean, any reason to eat chocolate cake for breakfast, let's just make sure we know what results we're going for. :V
Chocolate with fat burns slower than chocolate with sugar, so even though theres less calories in sugar, because its an explosion of glucose instead of a slow conversion, it breaks the body. According to one theoretical possible line of published articles.
Cadbury chocolate is healthier than Hershey. (Rumor)
Reading this, I first guessed it was linked to this elaborate hoax - in which a researcher set out to show how easy it is to get the media to reproduce bullshit science.
But this is different. In addition to the study it cites relating chocolate intake to cognitive function, a bit a googling suggests the link with weight-loss is referring to this study: Meal timing and composition influence ghrelin levels, appetite scores and weight loss maintenance in overweight and obese adults. Which says that eating a high carbohydrate breakfast can help prevent weight regain. The meal timing is the critical bit, not the chocolate.
So stuffing yourself with pancakes will work just as well.

4015559 Didn't the guy who put out that report, admit to it being a fake to prove the point that a lot of modern "research" in healthy living was actually a lie.
He said chocolate helps you loose weight, went on Doctor Oz, then admit it was all a lie to prove his point.
Yeah, what 4015616 said!
"It's your favorite! Powdered donut pancake surprise!"
