Antioxidants in Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate -- but not milk chocolate or dark chocolate eaten with
milk -- is a potent antioxidant, report Mauro Serafini, PhD, of Italy's
National Institute for Food and Nutrition Research in Rome, and
colleagues. Their report appears in the Aug. 28 issue of Nature.
Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are
implicated in heart disease and other ailments.

"Our findings indicate that milk may interfere with the absorption of
antioxidants from chocolate ... and may therefore negate the potential
health benefits that can be derived from eating moderate amounts of dark
chocolate."

Translation: Say "Dark, please," when ordering at the chocolate counter.
Don't even think of washing it down with milk. And if health is your
excuse for eating chocolate, remember the word "moderate" as you nibble.

What is it about dark chocolate? The answer is plant phenols -- cocoa
phenols, to be exact. These compounds are known to lower blood pressure.
Chocolates made in Europe are generally richer in cocoa phenols than
those made in the U.S. So if you're going to try this at home, remember:
Darker is better.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

Better still low carb recipes that use unsweetened baking cocoa powder.

Like the classic recipe called nookie puuding. Cottage cheese, cream
cheese, powdered baking chocolate, a few packets of artificial
sweetener. Blend until smooth.

Yeah I have heard that already that chocolate has lots of proteins in it but is also has so many carbohydrates in the form of sugar.bedding So try only those which has less amount of sugar.
