Healthy Chocolate? Absolutely - By Jeffrey Herms

Chocolate is usually thought of as a sinful treat. Sure it tastes great, but all the sugar that goes into confectionary chocolate can make it hard on the arteries, not to mention the love handles. Well, have I got some wonderful news for you, especially if you are partial to dark chocolate.
In August 2003 it was shown in the scientific journal Nature that dark chocolate has substantial anti-oxidant properties. What does that mean? Anti-oxidants protect the heart and arteries from oxidative damage, which is analogous to the rust build up on a car over time. Unfortunately for milk-chocolate lovers, dairy mixed with chocolate actually counters this effect, so you can have only dark chocolate and not even a glass of milk with it if you want your body to reap all of the benefits.
A high level of consumption of black tea, which contains catechins, has for years now been considered a way to improve longevity and reduce the risk of heart disease. This new research on dark chocolate has shown that it contains at least four times the amount of these catechins per serving. Dutch researchers have concluded that the old Dutch habit of drinking a cup of tea with a chocolate cookie is not only enjoyable, but actually healthful. Of course, just like with alcohol consumption, moderation is key.
Professor Alan Crozier of Glasgow University has this to say on the subject: "I would advise moderate consumption, maybe a small bar of chocolate a day."
One little bar of the good stuff per day is just enough to get the anti-oxidants in, and keep the fat and cholesterol at bay.
Doesnt that just make your day?

I've seen many Malaysians getting fat on nasi lemak, roti canai breakfast and mountains of rice for lunch and dinner. Then there is the never ending eating habits of the Chinese there gorging on pork ribs and offals herbal soup, and greasy hokkien noodles - all very very fattening food which are bad for health. But I guess they are loving it... it's a free country where eating seems to be a national past time.

Chocolates are much healthier and taken in moderation, should not pose any health problems at all. In fact it is a health food especially the dark chocolates which I recommend you eat instead of the lighter ones.

robert KS LEE.

yeap it's 100% correct cos of its calories.

milk chocolate bar will increase your weight.
white chocolate bar will increase your weight.
but unsweetened Dark Chocolate bar(without fat) known for its anti-oxidants will not increase your weight. Dark Chocolate is Healthy Chocolate

it can if you eat a lot of it, but then doesn't everything?

It all comes down to calories. If you eat 2000 calories worth of chocolate a day, you're not going to gain any more weight than you would it you ate 2000 calories worth of vegetables a day.

Mr. Bobo [Chantek ker..]

Consuming approximately 100g of dark chocolate, a high cocoa content, daily will lower your blood pressure and lowers the possibility of heart attack.

Dark chocolate has recently been promoted for its health benefits, including a substantial amount of antioxidants that reduce the formation of free radicals, though the presence of theobromine. but Chocolate are very toxic to be eaten by cats and dogs.

Some of the researcher in the European universities found that cocoa-based prescription drugs could potentially help treat diabetes, dementia and other diseases.

hope you will eat chocolate without any doubt after this haha..

Eating chocolate can do good to your health, depending on which chocolate you consume. The problem about chocolates is the sugar contents. Our body takes longer time to digest sugary contents and the excess will be stored in your body fat which of course can make you plumper and stomach bloated. But chocolate itself has good remedies. Go for dark chocolates instead as it has more chocolate and less sugar. As with other foods, eat everything in moderation.

Chocolates contain a lot of calories which can make you fat.
But white chocolates contain less calories.

crap. shim is right, eat everything moderately.

hushpuppy

not necessarily so. i have read a small amount of chocolates is in fact good for health, but of course we are talking about a small amount.

chocolate contains a high amount of fat and sugar. so if you put on weight because of choccy, that's the reason.
