For You Chocolate Lovers!!

[Stryc-9]

Check out the benefits (yes, the BENEFITS!!) of eating chocolate!! Don't mind the pop-up - and don't let this blow your diet (yeah right!)

Seems that the polyphenols in chocolate are good for reducing free radical damage...or some such thing...someone pass me a hershey bar...

If you want to include some polyphenols to your diet,drink a cup of green tea and leave away all the fat and the sugar that are contained in a chocolate...

Yup, there's nothing wrong with downing a teaspoon of raw cocoa powder occassionally! Just leave out the sugar, fat, emulsifiers and flavorings they put in Hershey's and you'll be fine.
