| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _ Chocolate & Cocoa: 'Healthy' Benefits or Negative Health Effects? Is Chocolate a food of the gods because of its divine taste and Health Benefits, or is it because heavenly bodies don't have to worry about its Health Hazards? Stories on the health benefits of consuming cocoa products have increasingly made the news following the discovery that they are an excellent source of catechins, which are polyphenols of the flavanol group, and which are believed to protect against heart disease, cancer, and various other medical conditions
Chocolate manufacturers and retailers have been taking advantage of these findings by not only trying to make chocolate lovers feel less guilty about their addiction, but also by trying to target the more health-conscious consumer with regular doses of "research studies" praising the supposed benefits of consuming chocolate, among them that: eating chocolate releases endorphins in the brain, which act as pain-relievers, eating chocolate boosts one's appetite, but does not cause weight gain, the sugar in chocolate may reduce stress and have a calming and pain relieving effect, eating chocolate does not give someone acne or other skin eruptions, eating chocolate does not trigger migraine headaches, eating moderate amounts of chocolate makes one live almost a year longer, eating chocolate reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer

Current research into the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption is a result of the 'French paradox.' Although the French have a high-fat diet, smoke more than Americans and exercise even less, the rate of heart disease is approximately one-third the U.S
But a flurry of independent research since those initial reports on red wine's health benefits surfaced a dozen years ago finds that alcohol in general provides a number of health benefits when consumed in moderation, and that beer might be the healthiest beverage of them all
As brewer/patriot Thomas Jefferson said a couple hundred years ago, 'Beer, if drank in moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit, and promotes health.' 'The wine people have made a very impressive marketing ploy
'Be that as it may, most people are convinced if you are going to get any benefit, it's going to be from red wine.' Kaplan became something of a national media star last summer when he took the lead in presenting a report on a Texas Southwestern study on the health benefits of moderate beer consumption

The Nurses Health Study required participants to complete a questionnaire every two years, detailing lifestyle choices and diagnoses of any medical conditions
Over 400 studies worldwide, many of them long-term and in large populations, have concluded that most healthy people who drink wine regularly and moderately live longer
It is, however, a progressive leap from the 1990 Guidelines, which said, 'wine has no net health benefit', which is the contemporary scientific equivalent of saying 'the earth is flat'
