I am in my first semester of culinary school for baking/pastry and something I have really enjoyed is learning about the health benefits of dark chocolate! I thought some of you would enjoy reading this article too!

Dark chocolates eaten without dairy (milk) have tons of flavanoids and antioxidants!! More than prunes! Antioxidants attack free radicals in your body!
Eat a chocolate with atleast 50% cocoa content or higher!
The reason people associate chocolate bars with being unhealthy is because usually chocolate bars are 60% sugar and 40% cocoa...but a 60% cocoa chocolate bar with 40% cocoa is great!
The day we learned this, I got home and a Nestle Chocolatier commercial came on for their new chocolates...they said enjoy our delicious dark chocolate with a tall glass of MILK..and I thought NOOO!
Anyway, I'm rambling! EAT DARK CHOCOLATE AND DONT FEEL GUILTY!
YAY!
Dark chocolate is a little slice of heaven. Good to know it's healthy as well.
Best of luck in culinary school!
