Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, can be part of a healthy diet—when enjoyed in moderation. The super-special ingredient is cacao, the bean-like seeds from which chocolate is made. Cacao is packed with antioxidants that destroy the free radicals (bad cells) that cause disease. In fact, a particular substance in chocolate called flavonoid is believed to lower blood pressure, which reduces the chance for heart attack and stroke. Flavonoids may also help control insulin sensitivity.
