Live healthy and long
From Newsmax Health by Nick Tate | June 13, 2013
Researchers found out that few cups of cocoa help people control diabetes and other form of inflammation related diseases. This was tested in mice. (Not yet in people)
Experiments showed that feeding the mice 10 tablespoons of sugar (equivalent of 5 cups of cocoa) in a l0 week period showed the effects on reduction of disease and inflammation to be equivalent of those eating non fatty diet. The triglycirides in the liver was reduced by 32% (the effect is significant)
Most researchers tend to stay away from chocolate because it is high in fat and sugar. However, cocoa is low in fat and low in sugar and contains plenty of polyphenolic compounds which is linked to great health benefits just like in wine and tea.
