May I ask from myLotters the benefit of chocolates? I have to stop myself from craving chocolate because we have diabetes in our bloodline but I have to give in myself a little chocolate just to ease the craving I felt. I hope a little chocolate will not trigger anything, as of now I am don't have any illness and I wish & pray that I will always be in good health.

benefits of chocolate are many. I can say for a benefit that helps me personally to me. when my blood is low as soon eat my chocolate and it improves and becomes normal. I think as with most chocolate and so there are benefits and there is damage. so you need to Eat properly. nice day!

It's the cocoa in chocolate that has the health benefits. You have to assess all other constituents on their own merit/demerit.

Why not consult a physician just to be sure. Chocolate is really addictive and I find it hard to resist it.

I love chocolates! But like you, I also try not to eat to much because we also have diabetes in our bloodline. I only eat chocolates if I feel so down, it helps me to be more energetic and lively. I heard that black chocolates have health benefits for us, like it can lower our blood pressure and cholesterol level.

i have often read on internet about benefits of chocolate, here are: - Chocolate contains flavanols, it is a type of flavonoids that act as anti-oxidants and help to ward off free radicals in the body. - According to a research, dark chocolate can lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure - Chocolate contains serotonin, it is a natural anti depressant - Some studies have found that chocolate became one of the best foods to fight cancer Umm gaea23, for you who like chocolate but a bit to avoid taking it for fear of getting diabetes, maybe you should try chocolate with zero calories. i hope you always be healthy :)

To me it is enough to recover my mind. I think we shoudn't eat to much. But there is sugar material and I think we need it for energy.
