So this isn't specifically a women's product, but its sure slanted towards the female consumer. Its line of drinks and chocolate bars that are supposed to reduce bad cholesterol and promote healthy circulation. I'm not sure how healthy it actually is, but is only got 3g of fat (1g sat-0trans) in the drinks along with vitamins and minerals in the 6-25% range. Is this stuff actually decent or is Mars, Inc trying to make a buck on healthy chocolate?

It sounds like a way to sell chocolate as a health food. Yes, it does have a health benefit of cocoa flavanols in it and if you have it as part of a good overall diet it can be good for you.
And since each serving is 80 to 150 calories, why not have some chocolate for a snack?
Now you can have the best tasting food ever created as part of your diet. Why not? Yum.

It would be a better alternative to a regular chocolate bar but I wouldn't classify it as a health food. Although, I've tried to convince my family for years that chocolate comes from cocoa beans and beans are a vegetable...so chocolate is a vegetable, right? LOL.

My aunt told me about them and was all excited until she actually tried the chocolate bars. She said she might as well grab a knock-off chocolate protein bar from the store because the taste wasn't that great for the price.
And it sounds like they're just trying to make a buck of convincing women that something bad for them is actually really good for them instead, just by pumping it with a few good stats.
