Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / December 2007Healthy Dark Chocolate
A friend of mine told me recently that there are various studies showing the health benefits of dark chocolate. Has anybody seen these studies? > A friend of mine told me recently that there are various > studies showing the health benefits of dark chocolate. > Has anybody seen these studies? Go here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez A search on "dark chocolate" gets 57 hits. And then go here: http://www.candyusa.org/Chocolate/health.asp for a less objective view. :-) > > A friend of mine told me recently that there are various > > studies showing the health benefits of dark chocolate.

He also explains how the "good stuff" is the dark chocolate that hasn't had its nutritional value corrupted by the addition of tons of sugar and fats or through a high-termperature cooking process that kills the nutrients. > > > A friend of mine told me recently that there are various > > > studies showing the health benefits of dark chocolate.

One of the leaders in this field is a line of dark chocolate products called Xo?ai. Their products are made from unprocessed cacao powder and the exotic Amazonian A?ai berry, which is also very high in antioxydants. You can find out more and watch an informative video at http://www.mxi.myvoffice.com/36661/ What constitutes "junk?" This is really the key question, isn't it? If the lipid peroxidation hypothesis (for lack of a better phrase) is correct, it doesn't matter all that much, assuming the cocoa mass content is the same or very close. > What constitutes "junk?"

If you live in western US, you should be able to buy a 16.7 Ozs (1/2 kilogram) bar at Trader Joe's. It is about 72% cocoa and has far more cocoa than most chocolates. It costs $4 and is the best deal I have found for years. I take it as medicine, of course. :-) There are numerous references to medicinal benefits at: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA347715 Have fun and plenty of Yum! Yum! RF |
