It’s what the corporate types call a “win-win situation”: Not only does chocolate taste good, it’s good for you, too. A Harvard University study cited in Functional Ingredients Magazine found that those who eat sweets live on average nearly a year longer than sourpusses.
Also, moderate chocolate consumption might help the immune system, reduce cardiovascular disease, prevent cancer and improve dental health. This is due to polyphenols, a naturally-occurring chemical found in plants. Cocoa has a high amount of polyphenols, which are antioxidants that fight damage done to cells by free radicals.
Another study quoted said you could extend your life five to ten years with an active lifestyle and a balanced diet including foods (such as chocolate) rich in polyphenols.
