Way To Go Choco

Whoever says chocolates aren’t good for the health is sourgraping. Chocolates taste heavenly for those with a sweet tooth. Rightly so because chocolates come from the cacao tree Theobroma, a Greek word which literally means “food of the gods.”
Chocoholics may actually benefit from eating their favorite food. One study covering 8,000 male Harvard graduates revealed that those who ate chocolates lived longer than those who abstained. This can be traced to chocolate’s high levels of polyphenol which lower the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and prevent heart problems. Although this has not been fully confirmed, it sure is one positive news.
