Okay, this is great news:
According to WebMD and many articles, dark chocolate is actually beneficial to your health. Now, of course, this does not mean that we should all go out and binge ourselves on dark chocolate, but it does mean that I feel less guilty when I sink my teeth into a Lindt dark chocolate truffle, almost.
Dark chocolate contains antioxidants that are importat in fighting heart disease and other bodily ailments. However, milk chocolate does not contain these. In fact, drinking milk after eating dark chocolate neutralizes the effect of the antioxidant and defeats the purpose of eating the chocolate for health reasons.
Dark chocolate has also proved to be beneficially in the fight against high blood pressure. But only if you have reached a determined age and have mild high blood pressure. It is also important that while eating this extra chocolate, you cut down on other foods.
