Chocolate massages

This weekend, the Wisconsin State Journal ran an article about the growing popularity of chocolate-based spa treatments like massages, facials and body wraps. Many spas claim that the treatments have slimming effects in addition to their relaxation benefits. The State Journal article quotes several authorities who refute these weight loss claims however. Other supposed benefits of chocolate on the skin included exfoliation and moisturizing.

To me, the idea of paying someone upwards of $100 to slather me in chocolate for an hour is hard enough to swallow, let alone to think I'd come away slimmer. I'm willing to believe that it certainly could have some relaxing effects, however.
