Chocolates


Despite its high fat and sugar content, chocolate in small quantities is also nutritious. It contains flavonids/phytochemicals and antioxidants, and there is some evidence that very dark chocolate in small quantities is actually good for cardiovascular health. Chcolate also contains vitamin E, iron, and copper. However, once you start eating too much chocolate the saturated fat in it overrides any other nutritional benefit, and chocolate can contribute to obesity, cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, etc.
