- · “Chocolates are good for health” This statement is like flower to our ears but scientific research has not reached to an extent that we can conclude if chocolate is really good for health.
- · Flavonoids, a component of some chocolate has antioxidant property which means that it can control diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and cancer and improves brain function and slows the effects of aging.
- · The existence of flavonoids in chocolate is restricted to dark chocolate only. So you’re out of luck if you love only white chocolate, milk layered chocolate or candies. White chocolate or any other light chocolate adds nothing to your health but add a lot to your calories.
- · Flavonoids are found in cocoa beans. The outer layer of cocoa beans is very rich in flavonoids.
- · All the chocolate packaging indicates the amount of each ingredient being added to the chocolate. Be proud to see if flavonoid or cocoa is one of them. A chocolate made out of 100% cocoa is beneficial.
- · Some chocolate companies pay up for chocolate surveys. These surveys underline that chocolate is beneficial for health only to help boost the sale of the companies. Most of the chocolate survey are sponsored by chocolate companies itself thus putting suspect behind the famous saying, ‘chocolate is good for health’.
