Chocolate Health Issues – good for your heart?
There are literally oodles of articles and technical articles out there describing the health benefits of chocolate on the cardiovascular system. One of the key articles worth checking out is written by Dr Hagen Schroeter. It ascribes the lion’s share of the effects to the antioxidant Epicatechin which is present at high concentrations in chocolate. Remember chocolate is made from fermented ground seeds of the Cacao tree i.e. fruit seeds…… so Chocolate certainly starts life with good intentions! How much “goodness” is left in chocolate really depends on how much the starting material is processed and diluted with sugar and other ingredients.
