Chocolate for health

Is chocolate good for the heart?

Everyday there is news about chocolate; some say it is good, some  say it is bad. And still others say it is the type of chocolate you eat. Dark and bitter chocolate is better than white or the sweet chocolate. Few studies have shown that one to two servings of dark chocolate may help reduce the risk of heart disease. How chocolates prevent heart disease remains unknown. 

Some experts claim that the cocoa from which chocolate is made contains a variety of anti-oxidants like flavonoids. So if you are going to eat chocolate to protect your heart, make sure it has a high cocoa content. Most chocolates from Europe tend to have a high cocoa content, but not the British chocolates.

In the long run like everything else, chocolate is only good in moderation. If you eat too much, you will definitely gain weight, develop acne and increase your risk of heart disease.

If you rely on any one supplement or food product for good health- you are a fool.
