Chocolate is Health Food?
It’s good news that studies have turned up positive results for chocolate’s flavonid phenols, antioxidants that appear to confer heart health benefits. But watch out for saturated fat, sugar and calories that come along for the ride in chocolate. The healthiest way to have chocolate? Enjoy small amounts (1/2 ounce or 15 grams) of dark chocolate as a treat. Make sure your chocolate has at least 70% cocoa, so you get higher amounts of polyphenols.
