Altruistic answered Monday April 9 2007, 1:19 am: generally it's dark chocolate that benefits the human body. As the website given below says, chocolates:
* Decrease blood pressure
* Improve circulation
* Lower death rate from heart disease
* Improve function of endothelial cells that line the blood vessels
* Defend against destructive molecules called free radicals, which trigger cancer, heart disease and stroke
* Improve Digestion and stimulate kidneys
* Has been used to help treat patients with anemia, kidney stones and poor appetite
Of course eating large amounts of chocolate is still bad for you and could cause weight gain. But, taken in smaller quantities, it could prove to be very beneficial to your health. It all depends on the quantity and the type of chocolate that you are eating.
[i pretty much copied important parts of the website in case you didnt want to look. hope it helps!]
