Chocolate contains high antioxidants that help to protect the body from damage caused by pollution, pesticides, smoking, stress and processed foods. They also help to stay young. It's high in saturated fat, which is bad those at risk of heart disease. But now RMIT University, Melbourne, has found that the stearic acid in better-quality chocolate helps stop blood clots forming. Quality chocolate makes you happy and not just because it tastes good. Maybe because of the caffeine and the chemical serotonin. Chocolate is one of the causes of migraines also. The better the quality of chocolate, the less sugar is added in its making. There's no proof that chocolate causes pimples, but it is not beauty product. Chocolate is energy-dense so you don't have to eat much of it before you exceed your body's needs. If you consume more energy than your body uses, you will store the excess as fat.
