I'm a chocolate lover and I keep turning to it for comfort.I cry to convine myself that chocolate is a new 'super-food' because I keep hearing that it's good for the heart. can this be true? If so ,how much and which chocolate is best?

I know dark and bittersweet chocolate is best because it has the most heart-healthy antioxidants and the least sugar.

If you are referring to pure, dark cacao chocolate, then yes, it is good for the heart. But the healthiest variety is also the most bitter. They have special chocolates that tell you the cacao content in each bar. Personally I like the 60% cacao chocolate because it's not too bitter. I've tried higher contents of cacao in chocolate bars, but could not stand the bitterness.

Chocolate is definitely good for you. I mean it is good for your soul. I don't care about the physical health. Chocolate is good for your soul.
