Can Chocolate be classed as a health food?
So much has been written about the bad effects
of chocolate, lets reverse the coin and
pose the question - “Can Chocolate be classed as a health food?” The reason I am presenting the question is - New research is stating if you eat GOOD QUALITY
DARK Chocolate (I personally think that hand-made
dark chocolate is best) with over 72% Cocoa solids
the health benefits are there for you. It will contain essential trace elements and nutrients such as iron, calcium and potassium with vitamins A. B1, C, D, and E. Cocoa is also a good source for natural Magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can cause hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, joint problems and pre-menstrual tension. As well as Magnesium Dark Chocolate is rich in Anti-Oxidants that will deal with the myriad of free radicals to be found as a result of daily living e.g. pollutants, exercise, breathing etc One interesting fact is the fat in high quality plain chocolate (although technically a 'saturated fat') can
be considered cholesterol free, as research has shown it does not block the arteries or contribute to high cholesterol levels. So, with all that information can Chocolate be classed as a health food? I believe so!
