Cocoa is supposed to help lactose intolerance 1, and according to the "PDR for Herbal Medicines" , the cocoa seed (what chocolate is derived from) "contains methylzanthines, mainly theobromin, which have a diuretic, broncholytic, and vasodilatory effect. They also stimulate cardiac muscle performance and act as a muscle relaxant" 2. In folk medicine, cocoa seeds are used for intestinal infections, diarrhea, to regulate the thyroid, and as a mild stimulant. Also used for liver, bladder, and kidney ailments, for diabetes, diarrhea, and as a tonic 3. fortunately the worst side effects are excitability, sleep disorders (because of caffeine) allergic reactions, constipation (from tannin) and migraines (from amines). 4

Dark Chocolate carries a whole lot of antioxidents. The higher the coco, the better. Buy Dove Dark chocolate or Coco Via. They are very good for you. But that doesnt mean go eat chocolate every second of the day because its "healthy". It should be indulged in moderation :)

Dark chocolate has more antioxidants than milk chocolate, therefore, yes.

usually darkish chocolate above 70% is in good structure in authentic looking quantities. It incorporates better caffeine regardless of the reality that. (the bigger the percentage) LC P.s. regrettably the above reality is faulty.
