Is Chocolate good for health?

[Anonymous Modernist 17467]

I really want to discuss on this topic. Is chocolate good for health? As we all know that we eat so many chocolates from our childhood. But we don't know that is it good for health or not?

Hi Sachishah,

Here is a good summary of the various research that has been conducted on the health effects of chocolate.

http://people.umass.edu/curtis/academics/researchtoolbox/pdfs/westover_review.pdf

Essentially, there is wide disagreement in this field. Some findings conclude that chocolate contains beneficial compounds; others find that the amount of such compounds is too low to actually create a benefit. Some researchers concluded that regular cocoa consumption lowered cardiovascular risks, whereas other researchers found exactly the opposite.

Not all chocolates are created equal. Most of the chocolate candies consumed by children are larded up with fat and sugar that probably negate any positive effects (if they exist) of the cocoa. Thus, many people choose high quality dark chocolate over candy aisle Halloween candy. If you like to eat chocolate, a couple small squares (<10 grams) a day shouldn't greatly affect your health either way.
