A member asked:
Could you give me more information about dark chocolate and how healthy is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chocolate benefits: Eating dark chocolate which is bitter provides high concentrations of flavanols (antioxidants). It can help to reduce cholesterol levels and protect from heart disease. It may reduce feeling stressed & help to control appetite. It is best if the food product is at least 75% dark chocolate.
