A member asked:
Is it true that dark chocolate is good for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Dark chocolate contains something called antioxidants which can help scavange certain kinds of bad stuff called free radicals. It also makes you feel good as it can stimulate the pleasure center in the brain. Too much though, and one may gain weight. Three bites a day is about right, not four, three.
