Arrrghhh....chocolate. Almost everyone loves it. Rite?? Me?? Gosh...big fan. It makes us happy and blissed out; some may say it’s better than sex or an almost religious experience. Is it??

If you're a fan of chocolate you're in good company. Chocolate is one of the most popular sweet-tasting treats in the world and has been for centuries. But part of the myth surrounding chocolate is that it tastes so good it must be bad for your health. Which gives it an air of the forbidden.

Well,some info about chocolate that I had read;

~Cacao, the source of chocolate, contains antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. Of course this is counteracted by the high sugar content of milk chocolate.

~The smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves, resulting in relaxation.

~Chocolate contains a mild mood elevator.

~The cocoa butter in chocolate contains a mono-unsaturated fat which may raise good cholesterol.

~Drinking a cup of hot chocolate before meals may actually diminish appetite.

~Men who eat chocolate live a year longer than those who don't.

~The flavanoids in chocolate may help keep blood vessels elastic.

~Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood.

~Mexican healers use chocolate to treat bronchitis and insect bites.

~The carbohydrates in chocolate good for brain, resulting in a sense of well-being.


Dark Chocolate VS Milk Chocolate :

Dark chocolate contains more cacao and less sugar than milk chocolate. It follows that any health benefits would be more pronounced in dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate is popular for diet while milk chocolate is not.

However, you'll need to do a little research if you have any health concerns about eating chocolate. But with products like gluten-free and sugar-free brands finding their way onto supermarket shelves, you're sure to find some form of chocolate you can enjoy with a clear conscience.
