Chocolate, Polyphenols and Health protection


Chocolate  and  cocoa  derived  products  had  only been assumed as exquisite niceties for centuries. Nevertheless chocolate has recently been admited as an important  source  of  phytochemicals  with  potential  beneficial  health  effects.  Chocolate  is  one  of  the  foods  with  more concentrated  polyphenol  content,  mainly  those  of  the  flavonoid  class  such  as  procianidins,  chatequins  and epichatequins.
