Chocolates to lose weight and burn calories?

A new research has found that consuming chocolates can actually help one shed off the extra kilos, as it speeds up the metabolism, which burns more calories.

One scientist said that the bottom line is that people who eat more chocolates have less of a problem with fat than those who don't.
