Chocolate is the new 'super food'

"Researchers found that chocolate contains more healthy plant compounds, gram-for-gram, than many fruit juices.
In a test, they found that powdered dark chocolate contained more antioxidants and polyphenols – all of which are thought to protect the body from diseases such as cancer, and heart conditions.
Superfoods are usually classed as those high in antioxidants – compounds which prevent oxidisation and can stop healthy cells from being damaged.
Researchers made comparisons between single servings of dark chocolate, cocoa, hot chocolate mix, and fruit juices including acai berries, cranberries and pomegranates
The research showed that both dark chocolate and cocoa had more antioxidant activity and more flavonols than fruit."
