Chocolate better than fruit?
A new study by Hershey’s reveals that chocolate is better for you than fruit because dark chocolate is richer in health-boosting antioxidants than juices made from blueberries, cranberries and other so-called ‘superfruits’.
But however, adding sugar and milk to a chocolate bar will dilute its benefits.
Cocoa and dark chocolate have more flavanols, an antioxidant credited with preventing wrinkles and heart disease, than fruit.
My suggestion: Dark chocolate dipped strawberries! - best of both worlds.
