Chocolate Good or Bad

There's been controversy around chocolate for a long time. The problem is with processed chocolate which contains a large amount of sugar and fat. If you look at raw chocolate or cacao, this is where the great benefits are founds.

Raw cacao contains high levels of antioxidants and chemicals that improve your mood. The bad news is that it takes something like dirt! So eat dark chocolate, it has more of the nutrients in it and if it's slightly bitter, that is OK. Look at the content of what you are eating. Eat chocolate in moderation!!
