The article appeared in Britain, where the authors refute the idea of the benefits of dark chocolate and are trying to remind that this delicacy can be harmful to health, according to all-biz.info.
Before no one had doubts that dark chocolate is good for health. It was truly believed that it contains a large amount of flavonoids – substances that have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, preventing the development of Alzheimer’s disease and also help to cope with fatigue. This information was contained in a number of scientific articles.
New research, however, will disappoint people who like chocolate.
It turns out that many manufacturers produce dark chocolate with a low content of flavonoids in it or without them at all. The fact is that these substances have a bitter taste that not everyone likes.
And moreover, it seems manufacturers are not going to point out a new content of chocolate on the labels. It means we are not getting any useful flavonoids but just are consuming a big amount of sweets, which lead to certain consequences.
“Evil that is lurking in dark chocolate – are fat, sugar and calories,” – scare authors of the article.
