The new dark chocolate is good for health

Now, Americans are eating a new kind of dark chocolate, CocoaVia. This chocolate not only lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, but also helps prevent heart disease.

The dark chocolate was developed by scientists who worked for years at a cocoa farm and food laboratory in the interior of Brazil and went on sale in October 2005. It's made from a novel powder called Cocoapro cocoa and is packed with a variety of "heart-healthy" ingredients, such as plant flavanols. Chocolate machine

Cocoa beans are one of the good sources of plant flavanols, according to an article published in the American journal Nutrition and Metabolism in January this year: "Taking a few hundred milligrams of flavanols per day has many benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and enhancing insulin sensitivity." In the short term, there is substantial evidence to support the beneficial effects of chocolate and flavanols."

According to reports, this chocolate is not only healthy, but also tastes great. French chocolate tasters Mr. And Mrs. Alexandre recently praised the taste of the chocolate, saying it was better than many American candies.
