Are You a Dark Chocolate Eater?

Do we all love our dark chocolate? We eat for many reasons. Mainly because we love it or can’t do without it.

But there is scientific evidence (130 published studies) that chocolate does reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Other food sources are tea, blueberries, apples, cranberries, and red wine, but dark chocolate is the richest source to reduce the risk.

Also the flavonoids in dark chocolate are thought to show beneficial effects by raising the level of good high-density cholesterol, reducing blood pressure, reducing the level of bad low-density cholesterol, neutralizing the harmful oxidation action of free radicals, and inhibiting the clotting action of blood platelets.

It tastes so super good — the beneficial effects appear to outweigh the negative health consequences arising from saturated fat and sugar.
