"Beyond the froth, cocoa teems with antioxidants that prevent cancer", Cornell University food scientists say. They have found that cocoa has nearly 2 times of the antioxidants of red wine and up to 3 times those found in green tea.
Can Chocolate Bar work the same way as Hot Chocolate?
"Although a bar of chocolate exhibits strong antioxidant activity, the health benefits are still controversial because of the SATURATED FATS present," the researchers write. They explain that cocoa has about one-third of a gram of fat per one-cup serving, compared with eight grams of fat in a standard-size 40-gram chocolate bar.
With hot cocoa in the morning, green tea in the afternoon and a glass of red wine in the evening. That's a good combination.
