Dark Chocolate, We Love You!

Friday, February 11, 2011

Our bodies have been letting us know that chocolate feels so good!  Science continues to explain how cacao seeds (the source of chocolate) nourish us and provide us with health-supportive nutrients.  Our bodies can be trusted to lead us to healthy choices. "...chocolate is a rich source of antioxidants and contains more polyphenols and flavanols than fruit juice.  Cacao seeds are a "Super Fruit" providing nutritive value beyond that of their macronutrient composition." Which is great news for chocolate lovers."

Dark Chocolate, containing 70% or more Cocoa, offers the greatest health support.  The addition of sugar confuses our bodies and makes it difficult for us to self regulate, so milk chocolate is a more challenging choice.  Dark Chocolate, we love you!!
