Healthy Chocolate Is Unsweetened Cocoa
Alex Duarte, Ph.D., was a guest on The Debra Ray Show.
- Cocoa is a rich source of the same type of antioxidants found in red wine - polyphenols. Cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times the antioxidants of green tea.
- The flavonoids in cocoa are also good for your heart. They reduce the stickiness of cells that have an important role in blood clotting - platelets.
- In Harvard trials, it was found that flavonoids in cocoa help the body to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a compound essential for proper heart function.
