Recent studies have shown that eating chocolate may actually be good for you. Researchers have found that raw and / or minimally processed cocoa - as is found in Yachana Jungle Chocolate - contains flavonoids similar to those found in green tea. According to preliminary studies, these antioxidants have been linked to help accomplish the following:

*Decrease blood pressure
*Improve circulation
*Lower death rate from heart disease
*Improve function of endothelial cells that line the blood vessels
*Defend against destructive molecules called free radicals, which trigger cancer, heart disease and stroke
Improve Digestion and stimulate kidneys
*Has been used to help treat patients with anemia, kidney stones and poor appetite

It's supposed to be good for you at least they said so on the news the other day. Anything you eat too much of can be bad for you though.

not good but not bad.
