Chocolate and Cancer
chocolate cake recipe
While there is a lot of discussion
about this, cocoa beans, cocoa
powder and plain dark chocolate
are all high in saturated fats;
therefore some believe that it
increases the possible risk of
heart disease. Milk chocolate has
both high levels of saturated fats
and cholesterol, high levels of
these in your blood increase your
risk of heart disease when eaten.
There are studies that contradict
these findings, showing that foods
high in stearic acid, the
saturated fat in cocoa products
lower the risk of blood clots.
Chocolate is also high in
flavonoids, these are the
antioxidant chemicals the give the
heart-healthy reputation to red
wine.
