Hope you are having a wonderful day.
A friend asked me what would be some of the best chocolate sources. Well, to start with, make sure you choose dark chocolate with a high liquor content as I have mentioned before.
I came across several that are high in flavonoids.
Dark chocolate, the richer in cocoa the better, is not only a delicious treat, it is actually good for you. Just one ounce of a very special chocolate has more than twice the healthy antioxidants of red wine or other dark chocolates. One chocolate that some scientists have been studying the benefits of is Dove Dark Chocolates, made by Mars, Inc., which they say contains Cocoapro cocoa, a specially processed cocoa that contains super high levels of flavanols - so high that Dove Dark is being used in medical research. Cocoa is rich in antioxidant flavonoids, called flavanols, which include procyanidins, epicatechins and catechins. Check out the studies as shown at the web-site www.cocoapro.com for more details on the studies done with Dove Chocolate.
In future blogs other sources for the best in the "World of Chocolate" will be discussed.
Joy and happiness to you----
