| Detailed information |
Cocoa has long been known to have therapeutic properties.
For the Aztecs, cocoa was ‘the food of the Gods’. According to legend, it was offered by the God Quetzalcoatl and used to make a fortifying, aphrodisiac tonic for the sovereigns. Cocoa contains simple and complex polyphenols (or tannins), just like tea, wine and fruit and vegetables. It contains more polyphenols than any other vegetable-based nutrient (4 times more than tea). These polyphenols are also responsible for cocoa's characteristic bitterness.
They help to thin blood and regulate blood pressure. Their antioxidant effects, which protect the heart and the arteries, also help to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The specific beneficial effects of cocoa polyphenols for on cardiovascular system are proven by medical studies. According to data from an epidemiological study of Dutch people aged 65 to 84 (1), the risk of mortality from a cardiovascular disease was reduced by half among the subjects who consumed a lot of chocolate (4.18g of cocoa per day, the equivalent of 10g of dark chocolate) compared with those who consumed little or no chocolate. More recently, an Italian study (2) found that daily consumption of a small dose of dark chocolate had protective effects against chronic inflammation, a risk factor in heart problems. According to researchers, around 6.7g of dark chocolate should be consumed each day to obtain the best anti-inflammatory benefits.
Polyphenols also have the added benefits of neutralising free radicals and slowing down the effects of ageing, in addition to helping you burn off deep fats more easily.
