Tonet's Daily Playlist requires a Flash Plugin Chocolate and Cocoa Extracts beats cholesterol
By tonet on May 13, 2007 in Health and Beauty
I just bought a Cocoa Powder for my daily breakfast. Scientific studies showed that it is good for the health and an anti-oxidant. I’m replacing coffee with cocoa powder. I’ll try it for a week and see how it goes.
US researchers revealed,
“Diets high in flavonoid-rich cocoa powder and dark chocolate have a favourable effect on LDL (”bad” cholesterol) when compared with diets that limit or exclude other flavonoid sources such as tea, coffee, wine and onions.”
The Effects of cocoa powder and dark chocolate on LDL oxidative susceptibility and prostaglandin concentration in humans is a study in detailed paper published in the November issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The paper notes, “The incorporation of dark chocolate and cocoa powder into the diet is one means of effectively increasing antioxidant intake. Furthermore, the inclusion of dark chocolate and cocoa powder in a diet that is rich in other food sources of antioxidants, such as fruit, vegetables, tea and wine, results in a high antioxidant intake and may consequently reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.”
