is eating chocolate good for the heart?

Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables.These benefits are from flavonoids. But the truth is that dark chocolate need not necessarily contain flavinoids. As flavinoids taste bitter, some companies remove the flavinoids from dark chocolate to make them taste better. All that remains is fat and sugar and there is no health benefit whatsoever. Most companies do not reveal the content of flavinoids in their products and we have no way for finding out whether they are heart healthy or not. (Unless ofcourse you send them for analysis in a lab!) So the bottom line is, if you cant find a label describing the amount of flavinoids in the chocolate, you better stick to the traditional heart healthy diet - a balanced diet low in sugar, salt and fat, with lots of fruits and vegetables.

hi friends yes eating chocolate ,cures heart diseases.it reduces the blood pressure.dark chocolate is really good for health. 6.7 grams of chocolate per day is good for health.but eating excessive chocolate may cause cavities and one puts on weight. there should be a limit on eating chocolates.dark chocolates are good and the chocolate should be mixed with milk.milk content reduces the antioxidants in the chocolate. bye!!!!!!!!!
