Health By Chocolate: Why Dark Chocolate May Be Good For You
By Jason Flintstone
It's that time of year when giving and indulging in the
sweetness of sweets (especially with your sweetie) is seen as
perfectly acceptable.
But, new research shows that there are more reasons than ever
to NOT avoid or deny your chocolate cravings all year long.
According to some studies done in Italy, dark chocolate has
many of the same benefits as vitamin C helping the body use
insulin more effectively and lower blood pressure.
The research examined two out of three chocolate varieties,
dark chocolate and white chocolate. Dark chocolate is made up of
cocoa solids and sugar but no milk solids (prevalent in milk
chocolate) and white chocolate, although referred to as
chocolate had no cocoa solids, but instead is made of cocoa
butter (the fat in chocolate), mil solids and sugar.
According to the study, participants who enjoyed 100 grams of
dark chocolate daily for 15 days had reduced blood pressure and
become more sensitive to insulin than they were prior to the
"experiment".
Researchers believe that the benefits of dark chocolate are
because of the flavonoids it contains, which are associated with
the ability to lower the risk of heart disease and some cancers.
However, white chocolate exhibited no effect on patients since
it is free of cocoa solids, where the flavonoids are found.
So what does this mean for you and me? Is it time to replace
the celery and carrot platters with chocolate samplers and
related goodies? Is it time to switch from "an apple a day" to
"a chocolate bar a day"? The answer to this is probably a big
"no". Nonetheless, knowing this little tidbit and what other
discoveries it may lead to in the future sure won't inhibit a
healthy person from treating themselves to the oh-so-desirable
rich goodness of a nice piece of dark chocolate on occasion.
