easter chocolate
Because chocolate has been
considered simply a confectionery for
most of its existence, we may have a
hard time considering it a healthy food.
However, studies have been published
that suggest cocoa and dark chocolate
can decrease the risk factors of
diseases like diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. The reasoning
behind this may be in the concentration
of polyphenolic compounds, especially
a group of flavonoids called catechins.
Other food rich in flavonoid have also
gained a lot of attention as having the
potential to be heart-healthy, and some
are even being considered as cancer
preventatives to some extent. Green
tea and red wine are two of these foods
that are under great scrutiny and were
both once thought to be unhealthy.
