Is Chocolate Really Good For My Heart Health?

Chocolate For A Happy Heart?

It may sound too good to be true but researchers have found that chocolate ( the dark or bitter-sweet kind) has more than three times as many antioxidant compounds known as flavonoids. This is VERY good news for chocolate lovers who also care about heart-health because flavonoids keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots, the short-term cause of most heart attacks. Milk chocolate has about as much antioxidant power as red wine does, but if you're a white chocolate lover, you're out of luck - as it has NO flavonoids at all.
