--- 100 grams of dark chocolate has just as many antioxidants as 100 grams each of: spinach, prunes, raisins, kale, and brussels sprouts ... combined! It includeds over 700 compounds which include 26 anti-flammatories, 14 antiseptics, 12 analgesics, and two anesthetics. The latest research has concluded that cacao's flavonoids help lower blood pressure, better circulation, and reduce clotting of the blood. Research has also shown that a bit of dark chocolate a day decreases stress hormones and also reduced food cravings.

Go for chocolate that is at least 55 percent cacao. Milk chocolate is usually only 10 percent cacao. I'm a fan of Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate baking chips. Ohhhh, I want to try their all natural Gourmet, 100% cacao, unsweetened chocolate for baking. Bringing out the fruity flavor of the beans in high quality chocolate for baking! I may have to order from online, for it's not in stores here. But ordering by the bulk would be better.
