PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK- Green & Blacks Organic Dark Chocolate 85%. ( Hint- try the 70% first & work up to the 85%). Dark chocolate has many health benefits- I have been a dark chocolate consumer for decades! Adding only 15grams of dark chocolate to your daily diet is enough to increase total antioxidant capacity by 4% (thanks to the polyphenols- protective antioxidants also found in red wine & green tea). It also lessens oxidation of LDL cholesterol as most of the saturated fat content in cocoa butter is stearic acid. Numerous studies have shown that stearic acid does not raise blood cholesterol levels. In fact, in the human body  it acts much like the mono-unsaturated fat in olive oil. ENJOY!
