What chocolate is good for health (small amount)?

Al chocolate has been linked to better blood pressure and cholesterol levels, plus other benefits attributed to heart. The issue for the month of May the "Mayo Clinic Health Letter" covers the types of chocolate that are beneficial and how they help.

raw grains cocoa with those made chocolate products are a great source of flavonoids, antioxidants that is, those plants. Concentrated cocoa beans to different components of the flavonoids, especially flavonols, which apparently protect heart health.
However, raw cocoa beans are so bitter that it is virtually impossible to eat. And processing sugar is what gives flavor to chocolate products, but part of that processing extracts the beneficial flavanols.

As a general rule, the flavonol content reflects the level of fat-free cocoa solids present in chocolate. Chocolate milk, despite its creamy texture and mild flavor, it offers many flavonols because only contains 6 percent of nonfat cocoa solids, which is why black chocolate is better, it contains 23 percent fat-free cocoa solids. However, that beats all the unsweetened cocoa that contains 82 percent.
Normally, the best alternatives to high content of black chocolate flavonols are that the first ingredient is not sugar or cocoa powder 100 percent or alkalized unsweetened (ie unprocessed Dutch). When a chocolate or cocoa Dutch go through processing, the list of ingredients mentioned that processed with some alkaline.

The point is that the more black than the chocolate, the better for heart health. However, flavonols not counteract the calories, so check the label for information on the calorie content and portion size.
