Indeed, the rumors are true.
Now there's another reason to enjoy dark chocolate! In case you haven't heard, the cocoa bean contains the same natural flavanol antioxidants found in green and black teas, red wine, blueberries and more. What this means for you is that not only does dark chocolate taste great, but it might be good for you too. But keep in mind that dark chocolate is an indulgent treat, and that moderation is key when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Many short term, preliminary studies have suggested that consumption of products containing cocoa may provide cardiovascular benefits. More research, including longer term studies are needed. And the higher the natural cocoa content, the greater the flavanol antioxidant level, which makes products like HERSHEY'S EXTRA DARK (with 60% "cacao" - ingredients derived from the cocoa bean) so good... in more ways than one!
