Chocolate Health Tips Courtesy of Glamour
Glamour provides the Dos and Don’ts of how to eat chocolate, and how to maximize its health benefits.
One of the first rules of eating healthy chocolate is to look for dark chocolate that is 70% cacao. However, the article raises a great point about dark chocolate and how it can be an acquired taste, particularly for people accustomed to very sweet milk chocolate. Doctors make the following recommendation:
“Shara Aaron, M.S., R.D, and Monica Bearden, R.D., the coauthors of Chocolate—A Healthy Passion, have a helpful tip: “You can develop a palate for the dark stuff by gradually increasing the percentage of cocoa in your chocolates and can even find some milk chocolates with 50 percent cocoa or more.”
