"OK, cocoa lovers! Research has found that chocolate (especially the dark kind, which has more flavanoids than other types of the sweet stuff) may have special health benefits&amp;#8212;such as boosting cardiovascular health and brain function and helping to reduce inflammation. And, according to this newest study, chocolate may even help in weight regulation.\nPinterestFacebookThe study&amp;#8212;published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry&amp;#8212;identified a certain combo of antioxidants in chocolate that helped mice have decreased appetites, lessen weight gain, and also decreased blood sugar levels...all of which could have implications in controlling type 2 diabetes and obesity in humans.\nSo these mice were fed a variety of different diets, each with different levels of sugar and fat. The mice that ate a high-fat diet that also included this specific set of compounds&amp;#8212;called oligomeric procyanidins, which are most often found in dark chocolate&amp;#8212;helped keep blood glucose levels under control.\nThere&amp;#39;s still lots of research to be done (and, of course, the subjects were chocolate-eating mice), but it could still be interesting news for chocoholics out there.\nSo! What are your thoughts on this new possible benefit of chocolate?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
