Key Takeaways

  • Choose high-cacao chocolate (70%+ cacao) to maximize flavanols and minimize sugar content.
  • Avoid alkali-processed chocolate (“dutch-processed”) as it destroys beneficial flavanols.
  • Dark chocolate supports cardiovascular and brain health through its flavanol content.

Notable Quotes

“If you’re eating chocolate for the health benefits, you want to make sure that your chocolate hasn’t been processed with alkali.”
