Chocolate announced as a "Super Food" and "Super Fruit"

It's hardly news that dark chocolate contains some healthy goodies such as antioxidants and polyphenols. But now, according to new research, headlines have been a "super fruit" dubbing chocolate.
Last time, chocolate - dark or not checked - not as a my five daily counts. But in fact, leading scientist Dr. Debra Miller really was said:
Cocoa seeds should as a ' super fruit' and products of cocoa seed extracts as natural cocoa and dark chocolate as "super foods".
The study will be published in the chemistry Central journal.
Miller and colleagues compared fruits like Acai berries, blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates cocoa powders from Boden-Up "super food" made. According to Miller, they found that "the connections in dark chocolate as well as the botanical compounds in fruit."
What does this mean for Chocoholics? The scientists recommend the benefits of this new "super fruit", cocoa powder, recipes and drinks to get can use.
Use this new study, and the headlines as a pretext to scoff down extra chocolate though excited.
Chocolate is very high in calories, sugar and Fat.Dunkle chocolate or cocoa powder gives only the benefits cited in the study.The Hershey Company (chocolate manufacturers) sponsored this research, so obviously a vested interest will encourage us to eat more chocolate.
Thinking chocolate can or should be part of a balanced diet?
