Chocolate

The antioxidants of cocoa incite enthusiasm because they contribute to protecting against cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer. But it seems that milk (often added to cocoa in chocolate) decreases the antioxidant capacity of cocoa. What’s more, chocolate contains anywhere from 30 to 35% fat, dark or milk.
