Chocolate...mmmmm!

Resent studies have been made that have said that chocolate is full of antioxidants. But what kind exactly?

Dark Chocolate!

White chocolate and milk chocolate are not as good as dark. It has been said that milk may actually interfere with the absorbtion of antioxidants. Which is why milk chocolate is not as good for you on the antioxidant list.

That's no excuse to just go eat a bunch of chocolate to get your antioxidants, because fruits and vegetables are still much much better for you and contain other antioxidants that your body needs. However, if you absolutely are craving chocolate...instead of getting a milk chocolate candy bar. Get DARK chocolate instead. Take it easy on the amount though.

It's just a bit of good news for those of us who are choco-holics. We can't forget to balance our diets though, and cut back on the chocolate. ;)
