Hot cocoa rocks

Forget your red wine (and your coke), drink chocolate !

Researchers at Cornell University have shown that the hot beverage cocoa contains more antioxidants per cup than a similar serving of red wine or tea and may be a healthier choice.

The study, said to be the most complete comparison to date of the total antioxidant content of these three popular drinks, adds further evidence to the health benefits of cocoa.
