It's more than wishful thinking — chocolate can be good for you. However, this does not give you a free pass to eat Hershey’s bars every day. Studies show that eating primarily dark chocolate can contribute to improved cardiovascular health. Made of cocoa beans, which are rich in flavonoids, dark chocolate is a powerhouse of antioxidants. Unfortunately, a 100% dark cocoa bar is almost inedible – as the percentage of cocoa goes up, the chocolate tastes less sweet and more bitter. Nationally known nutrition specialist Jonny Bowden, aka “The Rogue Nutritionist”, joins Melanie Cole M.S. in a fun filled segment that will shed more light on this popular topic and offer ways to reap the dark chocolate benefits without the bitterness and extra calories. He will also discuss the 7 Nutrition Lies That Are Making You Sick & Fat. Don't miss this exciting and informative show!
