Would you rather eat dark chocolate or a drink a cup of black tea ? Or would you rather eat dark chocolate or have a tomato salad with buffalo mozzarella ?
We do know that dark chocolate is better for you than milk chocolate. Studies have already proven this. Good milk chocolate might taste better and less bitter but milk cancels the good effects of the antioxidants. Studies have shown that dark chocolate boosts blood antioxidant levels by almost 20 percent.
Dr Joe Vinson at the University of Scranton found that the polyphenols in milk chocolate to be higher than in red wines or black and green tea. Yes, milk chocolate polyphenols NOT dark chocolate. We know of course that the polyphenols n dark would be better than red wine. I never thought that those in milk chocolate would be higher. He even found this to be true when comparing polyphenols of milk chocolate against tomatoes.
