The benefits of chocolate
Today we're answering a peculiar question and discovering the benefits of chocolate.
We've attached a couple of articles if you're interested in learning more about the topic:
Study in Hospital Nutrition (SciELO):
The effects of chocolate on cardiovascular health were reviewed. Chocolate, especially high-purity chocolate (with a high cocoa content), is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids (such as epicatechin). These compounds have antioxidant properties, decrease LDL oxidation, improve endothelial function, and reduce blood pressure and platelet aggregation. In terms of composition, chocolate is made from cocoa solids and cocoa butter; it also contains carbohydrates (sugars and fiber), fats (especially stearic acid, which does not raise LDL cholesterol), and small amounts of proteins and minerals.

Study on diabetes and chocolate consumption (BMJ / Food & Wine):
Data from a large cohort suggest that those who consume dark chocolate in moderation (approximately 28 g daily) have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It is proposed that the flavonoids in cocoa improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Chemically, this chocolate stands out for its high concentration of cocoa and polyphenols, which counteracts the potential negative effects of fats and sugars when consumed in moderate amounts.
