It's not an oxymoron anymore! Some junk food thought to be really bad apparently aren't
so bad after all:
CHOCOLATE BARS
Why you think they're bad: They're high in both sugar and fat.
Why they're not: Cocoa is rich in flavonoids -- the same heart-healthy compounds found in red wine and green tea. Its most potent form is dark chocolate. In a recent study, Greek researchers found that consuming dark chocolate containing 100 milligrams (mg) of flavonoids relaxes your blood vessels, improving bloodflow to your heart. What about the fat? It's mostly stearic and oleic acids.
Hey, if science is telling me I can eat delicious stuff that are good for me, there's no reason not to!
