A lot of studies have shown that Dark chocolate is good for the heart. This is because they contain lots of flavinoids ,its a antioxidants which helps to reduce the oxidative damage to our body. But the fact is that dark choco need not necessarily contain flavinoids. As flavinoids taste bitter, some companies remove the flavinoids from dark chocolate to make them taste good. Most companies do not reveal the content of flavinoids in their products and we have no way for finding out whether they are heart healthy or not.

So the bottom line is, if you cant find a label describing the amount of flavinoids in the chocolate, you better stick to the traditional heart healthy diet – a balanced diet low in sugar, salt and fat, with lots of fruits and vetgetables.
