For generations, cooks have linked chocolate with desert, and for good reason : Sugar tames cocoa's natural astingency and bitterness turning it rich and mellow. But that association has also lent chocolate it's reputation as a naughty indulgence.
Be aware, research pinpoints cocoa's healthy properties. It's a natural source of flavoids similar to those found in tea, and it contains substances that help prevent blood clots and coronary plaque. Chocolate also seems to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels and contains small amounts of magnesium, potassium, protein, phosphorous, calcium and iron.
