of the health benefit myths.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _ 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

This drink would have been very bitter, unlike our chocolate drinks today
The first chocolate bars In the 1800s, solid chocolate became popular, with the invention of moulding processes
The beans are crushed to a paste, which is subjected to very high pressure, forming chocolate liquor and cocoa butter
In the 1880s, Rudolphe Lindt of Switzerland started adding extra cocoa butter during chocolate manufacture, to make it smoother and glossier
That's why chocolate melts in the mouth
Milk chocolate In 1875, Swiss Daniel Peter perfected the manufacture of milk chocolate, which is sweeter and smoother than dark chocolate

150 Reports Added/Month Publisher/President Bette BonFleur CEO Emeritus Reported July 19, 2005 Chocolate for Your Health (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- According to a new study, a daily bar-sized indulgence of flavonol-rich dark chocolate could reduce blood pressure and improve insulin resistance
'Previous studies suggest flavonoid-rich foods, including fruits, vegetables, tea, red wine and chocolate, might offer cardiovascular benefits, ' says Jeffrey B
'But this in one of the first clinical trials to look specifically at dark chocolate's effect on lowering blood pressure among people with hypertension.' Flavonoids are natural antioxidants found in many foods from plants
Throughout the week before the study, participants avoided all chocolate and other flavonoid-rich foods
For the next 15 days, half ate a 3.5-ounce bar of flavonoid-rich dark chocolate daily, while the other half ate the same amount of white chocolate
'White chocolate, which has no flavonoids, was the perfect control food because it contains all the other ingredients and calories found in dark chocolate, ' Blumberg said
Researchers found a 12 mm Hg decrease in systolic (the top number in a reading) blood pressure and a 9 mm Hg decrease in diastolic (the bottom number in a reading) blood pressure in the dark chocolate group after the 15-day study
