I am a believer that a little of what you fancy is good for you and I wont be arguing with the reaserch on this one! http://www.dadamo.com/B2blogs/blogs/index.php/2009/12/24/dark-chocolate-protects-dna-and-the-hear?blog=14#c2225 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:32:02 +0000 Dean [Visitor] c1438@http://www.dadamo.com/B2blogs/blogs/ And here are four steps to maximize the health benefits of dark chocolate:<br /> <br /> The Darker the Chocolate, the Better. Dark chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa solids, containing the health benefits, than milk or white chocolate. Most dark chocolate products have the cocoa percentage labeled.<br /> <br /> Eat Moderate Portions. Chocolate is a high-calorie food. Over indulge, and the health benefits of dark chocolate can be quickly outweighed by the problems of weight gain.<br /> <br /> Avoid the High Calorie Extras. The health benefits of dark chocolate come from the antioxidants in the cocoa solids. All of the other ingredients, like sugar, and any extras, like nougat, caramel, marshmallow, etc., just add calories.<br /> <br /> Do Not Consume With Milk. For some reason, not yet scientifically understood, the health benefits of dark chocolate are basically negated if the dark chocolate is consumed with milk.

Yum!<br /> <br /> Seriously, anybody know if cocoa powder contains these antioxidants, or is it only in chocolate itself?
