This Sweet Lowers Bad Cholesterol
Recently we posted an article revealing how one type of sweet helped lower high blood pressure.
No surprise many readers were extremely happy.
Now a new study has shown how the same sweet drastically lowers bad cholesterol.
And quickly, the study proved this could be done in as little as fifteen days.
What sweet are we talking about? Chocolate, of course. And the darker, the better.
Researchers from San Diego State University measured participant’s cholesterol levels. Then they assigned half the group the tough task of eating 50 grams of dark chocolate every day and the comparison group to eat the same amount of white chocolate every day. White chocolate includes no cocoa, so researchers were really testing the effects of cocoa.
Fifteen days later the dark chocolate group had lowered their cholesterol levels quite a bit whereas the white chocolate group had not.
No surprise, researchers had no problem finding participants for this study. Everyone wants to eat chocolate for science.

I eat one small square of Lindt 85% dark chocolate most days. I don’t give a rats if it’s good for you or if it lowers BP – I just love it and I know that in moderation it’s probably doing me good. It certainly boosts the endomorphins.
Also, real chocolate is NOT sweet. It’s almost bitter. That stuff in Easter eggs isn’t chocolate; it’s sugar!

Dear Scott Davis,
Your comment about overeating chocolate because it has fat and calories is nonsense.
Are you still a believer in saturated fats as bad fats? Time to start looking at the evidence. Saturates fats don’t oxidise in the body, oil seed fats are very easily oxidised and overload the LDL conveying cholesterol around the blood stream.
Get your house in order, please.

There is never any mention in all the chocolate articles about plain, pure cocoa powder. But the original research was based on islanders drinking 5 cups of cocoa a day. No fat, no sugar, no calories.!!!!!!!
One heaping tablespoon in a cup of hot water (not milk-it blocks the absorption of the good stuff). I use Nestle’s Toll House Cocoa. If you can find it, Cadbury’s 100 Cocoa is good too. I read the cocoa powder must not be alkaline processed, as this destroys the benefits also.

If you get all benefits for cocoa then why not we simply go for cocoa drink.

They DO NOT mean milk chocolate in any way, shape or form.
