Is Chocolate A Healthy Food?

Chocolate has been touted as a super source for important health antioxidants. Hurray for positive news on everyone’s list of favorites!
.
However, to get the antioxidant benefit you must eat 100 grams (3.5 oz) of dark chocolate each day!
.
That’s a whole lot of calories, carbs and fat grams.  Although delicious, chocolate is still a high calorie, high fat food so indulge carefully.  When chocolate cravings hit be smart and enjoy!
