Attend any of our upcoming workshops on locating information on nutrition topics and earn a chance to receive a free Mast Brothers chocolate bar!
The first ten people to arrive for each class (and stay until the end) will receive a Mast Brothers chocolate bar. * Registration for the session held at Hardin Library is appreciated, but registration is not necessary for the the session at Main Library.
*Studies have shown that dark chocolate can be a healthy supplement to your diet. For a recent article, see Latham LS, Hensen AK, Minor DS. Chocolate—guilty pleasure of healthy supplement? Journal of Clinical Hypertension 2014; 16(2): 101-6; doi: 10.111/jch.12223. The chocolate for these events was funded by a grant from the University of Iowa’s Food for Thought Theme Semester.
