Chocolate can be calorie-dense and high in fat. Not good health credentials, but in most cased chocolate is healthy.
The American Institute for Cancer Research says enjoy a 1 ounce serving, of at least 70% dark chocolate a few times a week. That’s about a quarter of a small candy bar, or a square of chocolate.
Chocolate has antioxidants ---- substances known as flavonoids that may help prevent heart disease and possibly improve cognitive functioning as you get older. But this does not justify devo
uring a whole chocolate bar. A study at Cornell University states hot cocoa made with unsweetened cocoa powder has double the antioxidants of red wine and four times the amount of green tea.
One health benefit of chocolate is the "mood elevator." Chocolate is thought to improve pleasure and mood by raising endorphins and serotonin levels in the brain. Chocolate is healthy!!
