Recent research shows that chocolate can provide natural health-promoting substances called flavonoids.
Since flavonoids seem to help prevent heart disease and cancer, the idea of eating chocolate sounds like a tempting and delicious way to better your health. The complete message is, however, that although chocolate might be preferable to other treats, it is no substitute for vegetables and fruits, which also contain flavonoids.
The flavonoids in chocolate that laboratory studies demonstrate to have powerful antioxidant effects are called flavanols and procyanidins. These two compounds come from the flavonoid “family” that includes resveratrol, found in grape juice, and EGCG, found in green tea. When people consume these substances in chocolate and cocoa, the antioxidant status of their blood increases.
This rise in antioxidant levels helps protect us from damage to the heart and blood vessels, while it also guards our DNA from damage that can lead to cancer.
In addition, the flavanols and procyanidins in chocolate improve the function and flow of blood vessels and help control inflammation.
The antioxidants in chocolate have generated a lot of interest because studies show that these compounds are more powerful antioxidants than EGCG in tea, which is a strong antioxidant.

There are two ingredients in chocolate that can trigger migraine headaches: caffeine and phenylethylamine. These substances can constrict blood vessels, and constriction causes head pain.
Some people get a headache if they eat chocolate but not when they drink caffeinated beverages. That is because some people may be sensitive only to phenylethylamine, while others are sensitive only to caffeine. Some people may be sensitive to both.
chococalte aint bad for the body. it actually helps produce natural hormones and dark chocolate is good for the heart

I am a homemaker (lol not that sounds stupid), umm housewife, mother etc :D
why do you ask?
I think the true question is Who does not like chocolate, or how can you not like chocolate (unless you’re alergic) I LOVE it.
actually.. my boyfriends son doesnt like chocolate… he is not allergic to it.. he just doesnt like it… i tell him he is weird and not normal.. hahahahahah
Wouldn’t it just be better to ask who doesn’t like chocolate.
I DON’T LIKE CHOCOLATE!!! haha… I love flowers though.. I know… yuck! :)
Actually milk chocolate practically has no nutritional value… but if you want the health benefits everyone is talking about, you need to eat dark chocolate. I would expect 75%dark chocolate and higher.
I heard there was a recent study that proved that drinking milk in your tea omits the antioxidants in the tea, therefore losing the nutritional value, I would assume that the same thing happens to the antioxidants in the cocoa.
chocolate IS good for you but it has to be that real cocoa stuff, which doesnt taste as good as milk chocolate (ya know like a hershey bar).
WoooW I love Chocolate and I cann’t live without it :) but I try not to eat so much everyday. Because too much chocolate is bad for the health :)
