Your holiday loot may include an assortment of dark chocolates — perhaps a gift from a thoughtful relative who had heard about its health benefits. Now a leading medical journal says dark chocolate may not be as good for you as you think. According to an editorial in The Lancet, many chocolate makers remove flavenols — the heart-healthy ingredient — due to their bitter taste. The devil in the dark chocolate is the fat, sugar and calories it also contains, according to The Lancet. To gain any health benefit, it says, you must reduce your intake of other foods.
+Summary and reaction
This article, from NPR.org, is about dark chocolate. When I read this article, I'm so sad. I like chocolate so much. But a leading medical journal says dark chocolate may not be as good for me as me think. Besides, chocolate has many devil. As you can see, fat, suger and calories are chocolate's devils. If I want to health, I don't eat much chocolate. From today, I make desperate efforts to cut off chocolate.
