Could it be that the one thing I have trouble saying no to could possibly be good for me?

The perception that we have of chocolate is that it is candy and it is sweetened with a lot of sugar. The reason is due largely to the processing and marketing of commercial chocolate as candy. The majority of these products offer poor quality cacao with a high sugar content, added fats, caffeine, waxes and fillers. Not sounding so healthy anymore!

So how can it be good for us? Cocoa is rich with antioxidants that are found in a variety of different foods, usually in plants and fruits that are rich in colour, such as berries, fruits and nuts. Antioxidants have a strong health-supporting property for reducing the risks of heart disease, obesity, certain cancers and diabetes.

Now when faced with the urge to eat chocolate, opt for the dark chocolate to get your fix of antioxidants. This is the solution to my guilt-free pleasure and I just had to pass on the good news. But always remember, too much of a good thing is never wise, so make this your special little treat.
