"ROCHESTER, Minn. —Chocolate as health food? Not exactly, but eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day offers some health benefits.
The benefits are thought to come from flavonoids in dark chocolate, according to the August issue of Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource. Flavonoids are a naturally occurring antioxidant that also are found in teas, red wine and some fruits and vegetables.
The flavonoids in dark chocolate have been associated with a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. One recent study showed that 6 grams of dark chocolate a day, about one square, lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 2 points each."
