Is dark chocolate really healthy? Dr. Brian Ellinoy, PharmD, will discuss the latest information on dark chocolate’s proposed benefits. Samples will be offered for tasting, their ingredients will be evaluated and labeling examined to give a comprehensive overview of the challenges involved in selecting high quality products. This program is in memory of cardiologist Dr. Stephen Brabeck, MD, who for many years discussed the health benefits of olive oil in juxtaposition to Dr. Ellinoy’s dark chocolate, making for a most popular annual event at the Library.

This program is part of The Next Chapter: Designing Your Ideal Life lecture series sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Monterey Public Library Endowment Committee. Adults are invited to attend. Admission is free, and reservations are required. Call (831) 646-5632 or email thongchu@monterey.org.
