Why you can eat dark chocolate
Must Love Chocolate!
We all have our little indulgences. For me it's coffee and dark chocolate. I absolutely love a little sliver of dark chocolate after dinner, and so I'm thrilled each time I hear it's good for you. Not only is it good for your libido and your skin, but also for stress! Yep, that's right.
One of our Hot Bloggers, JamieWho, sent me this
article on foods that you thought were bad for you that are actually good for you. And you guessed it – chocolate is one of them. But as usual, only in moderation.
He writes this: "The theory behind chocolate being good for you is a little bit of a dangerous one. See...it has recently been argued that chocolate contains high levels of antioxidants which help prevent a number of things from heart disease to premature aging. This is true, but only partly. The antioxidants are really only found in high-quality dark chocolate (70% or more). So if you buy a cheap bar of chocolate and eat it because you read somewhere that it was healthy you're kidding yourself. As with cheese, you should only have a little bit of the good stuff."
