Chocolate: Overrated?

Posted on Dec 30th 2007 3:06PM by Martha Edwards
Chocolate is a favourite indulgence, and I've been loving hearing the recent news that it might be healthy for you, as long as you eat dark chocolate and practice moderation. One of the main reasons it's though to be healthy is that has flavanols, which protect the heart.

But wait a second -- the Daily Mail reports that Dark Chocolate may not be healthy after all, because many manufacturers remove Flavanols, but they're careful to add more sugar and fat in the interest of flavour. And there's nothing we can do about it because this information is often left off nutrition labels.

Aww, man. Thanks for bursting my bubble. Well, at least over the holidays, I got enough to last me a year.
