How to enjoy chocolate as part of a healthy diet

Studies have been carried out to find out whether small amounts of chocolate, eaten often, contain enough flavanols (specifically epicatechin) to have similar health benefits to cocoa. Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, may also contain appreciable levels of toxic heavy metals, such as cadmium, which may be present naturally in the soil of cocoa plantations. [11] For products containing over 50% cocoa, the European Commission has set a limit for cadmium of 0.8 mg/kg, while for chocolate containing between 30%-50% cocoa, the limit is 0.3 mg/kg. [11] The state of California recommends a maximum daily intake of 4.1 micrograms of cadmium. [12] Theobromine is a plant chemical found in cocoa and tea. It’s currently being researched for potential health benefits such as lowering blood pressure. However, as with flavanols, it appears that small portions of chocolate would not contain enough theobromine to get the benefits of cocoa. Healthy fats – does dark chocolate raise cholesterol?
