More support for dark chocolate's heart benefits.
I found this article on how Dark chocolate flavonoids increasing antioxidant and its beneficial cardiovascular effects. I just pulled parts of this article, you will find a link to the full article below.
A daily treat of dark chocolate can improve overall heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease, say researchers from Zurich.
“Only a small daily treat of dark chocolate may substantially increase the amount of antioxidant intake and beneficially effect vascular health,” said Dr F. Hermann and colleagues from University Hospital, Zurich.
Dark chocolate is a rich source of antioxidants, and contains more polyphenols per gram than green tea or red wine.
The Zurich researchers were careful to stress that further research is required to study the long-term effects of polyphenols on health. Moderation with chocolate consumption was also stressed particularly since it may adversely affect heart health because of sugar and fat content. The chocolate industry has however already profited from the wave of positive health effect of cocoa, with producers increasingly highlighting polyphenol content on their labels.
