According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the Journal of Nutrition and the University of Copenhagen there are more reasons than one to love dark chocolate.
The most widely known reason that dark chocolate is so good for you is its extreme richness in antioxidants. Multiple studies have proven three different reasons why dark chocolate is a must eat.
Southbeachdiet.com has provided these three reasons:
- Decreases blood pressure and lowers risk of developing diabetes
- It can be an anti-inflammatory
- Keeps your tummy full so you don’t fill up on unhealthy foods
So kick the guilt trip and pull out that bar o’ chocolate!

The best I’ve ever had is a Lindt Excellence dark chocolate with chilis. I also love Ghiradelli’s intense twilight.
Those do sound delicious! My favorite is Vosges Chocolat the wooloomooloo bar, it has a combination of milk chocolate, coconut, hemp seeds, macadamia nuts and pink Himalayan sea salt. Absolutely delectable!
