I remember I was fifteen or something back when I first heard that dark chocolate was good for you.

You're probably referring to the antioxidants found in dark chocolate.
Epicatechin in chocolate has never been discussed in any research journals that I have come across until now. Epicatechin is known to exist in certain herbs and in green tea, but I was unaware of its presence in the cocoa bean (most likely the creole version).
