Interesting ChocolateFacts

By Brian K. Rosso, R.D.- Chocolate is a great source ofantioxidants, which have been

shown to reduce a person’s risk ofdeveloping cancer and heart

disease.- Eating dark chocolate in

moderation can lower a person’scholesterol levels.

- The first United States chocolatefactory was built in 1765.

- The average American eats 12pounds of chocolate every year.

- One tablespoon of cocoa powdercontains 10 percent of the daily

requirement for iron intake.Chocolate can offer some healthbenefits, but it should be eaten in

moderation because of the caloriesassociated with the fat and sugar

content.
