Chocolate is Bad for the Body
Although chocolate is commonly criticized for causing weight gain and being high in sugar and fat, eating moderate amounts of chocolate can actually offer some health benefits.
It’s time to celebrate- recent studies have found that cocoa, the key ingredient in chocolate, contains biologically active phenolic compounds. This compound has been associated with a variety of health benefits, like reducing the likelihood of heart disease and keeping cholesterol levels low. So long as we moderate our intake, there’s no need to feel guilty about enjoying some chocolate every now and then.
