I have just read in my local newspaper that a hospital in the UK is
conducting a trial with 40 patients suffering from heart disease. They
are going to give them regular amounts of dark chocolate, you know, the
70% cocoa stuff which is suitable for vegans. They seem to think that it
may help ward off heart attacks. Just the excuse I need to eat an extra
bar a week.

No there is never an excuse for overdoing anything. Dark chocolate has
always been known to contain a lot of antioxidants, energi and are in the
survival packages in the army, and has been for years. It contains many good
things like Magnesium and about 300 other stimulances, that is healthy for
the body. But only in small doses, because of the energy/fat. Besides here
the darkest u can go is 86%, and that is even better than 70%, for less
sugar etc. Eat a piece a day or a couple, it will do u'r body good in my
opinion.

I'm probably eating too much then, about two 100g bars a week, but I
enjoy it too much to cut down.

I thought you were joking, until I checked on Lindts website.
Can't have a very high sugar content.

Does that include abstaining from meat, dairy, and/or eggs and everything
containing derivatives and byproducts of the same simply because of
inflated, emotive concerns based on political propaganda about how animals
are (mis)treated?
