What To Know About Flavonoids, Cocoa And Health...
Dear Reader,
Cocoa, besides being a tasty indulgence, seems also to have some rather impressive health benefits like an ability to lower blood pressure, improve blood vessel health and cholesterol numbers according to Harvard researchers. The work involved a meta analysis of 21 studies that involved 2,575 subjects and was just presented at the American Heart Association's 2011 Scientific Sessions in Atlanta, Georgia.
Cocoa beans are a particularly rich source of flavonoids, those naturally occurring compounds in plant based foods and drinks that you've been hearing so much about. Interestingly, they do the same job in the plant as they do for us once we ingest them, offer protection from toxins in the environment and repair damage.
The thinking goes that if you don't have enough antioxidants in your diet, free radicals are able to damage the body and bring increases in LDL and plaque formation on the arteries.
So it makes sense that the higher the cocoa content, the healthier the chocolate will be for us. Most of the studies in this current analysis were short-term projects that centered around sugar free, dark chocolate. This is not the kind you can buy in the store, with lots of added sugar and fat to sweeten the taste, but a specially prepared variety used for research.
The benefits, according to Harvard Medical School's Eric L. Ding, PhD, come from the polyphenolic flavonoids that are a natural part of cocoa. These antioxidants are found in other foods like fruits, veggies, tea, coffee and wine. Beyond lowering blood pressure quite nicely, and helping with blood vessel health, enjoying flavonoid rich cocoa brought down the bad LDL cholesterol among those under 50 years old. It also increased the good, HDL, cholesterol and was associated with lower risk for diabetes, itself a major risk for heart disease.
Drinking flavonoid rich coca didn't alter triglyceride levels, but it did help with resistance to insulin. Experts believe that drinking flavonoid rich coca, in moderation of course, is a natural, side effect free way to improve your cardiovascular health.

What To Know About Flavonoids, Cocoa And Health... Continued...
Earlier work by Ding (and others) has shown that cocoa might bring down risk
for heart attack, though the dosage to produce the effect is remains unknown.
More research will help to answer this question as well as if cocoa had any direct
benefits on risk of strokes and heart attacks.
But is the downside of cocoa consumption, like putting on added weight, worth
the potential benefits to the heart?
There are better ways to help your heart get, and stay, healthy. Losing any extra
weight is the first thing you should do to bring your blood pressure numbers
under control, as well as improving insulin resistance.
There are also things you can do to get more of the right type of cocoa in your
diet. Drink hot cocoa with skim milk, adding dark cocoa powders to the top of
a hot drink, or using dark cocoa powder in your favorite recipes. You might also
look for products that have a high cocoa content, perhaps with fruits or nuts
to help mask the bitterness of the natural flavor.
To your good health,
