I'm a chocolate lover, too. Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate are known to contain flavonoid, which is significant in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol level. Chocolate also has contents which could have an anti-depressant effects because it stimulates the production of serotonin, a chemical that produces pleasure feeling in the brain. This could explain why chocolate is a comfort food for many individuals. However, chocolate is still loaded in calories, so eating moderate amount would give the best results.

I have heard that bitter chocolate is good for you. I am not too certain how though?

I have heard that chocolate does have some heart benefits. Although some people enjoy the taste of milk chocolate, dark chocolate is supposed to be healthier for us. I have always been a chocolate lover. If chocolate is good for you, that makes me even happier.
