Chocolate is the name of the processed food from the cocoa bean. Chocolate is generally given as a gift or gifts at the feast. With the form, style, and unique flavors, chocolate is often used as an expression of gratitude, sympathy or attention. Even as an expression of love. Chocolate also has become one of the most popular flavors in the world. It also said the danger of consuming chocolate when grieving "According to research from the foundation Food For The Brain fronted by a group of physicians, researchers, nutritionists, and psychologists suggest a link between diet and mental health," wrote the Daily Mail, Thursday, August 22, 2013. It turned out too; blood sugar levels can affect a person's behavior. Deborah Colson, a therapist nutrition, said, "The balance of poor blood sugar is often the single largest factor in people suffering from depression, anxiety, and emotionality." The sooner the sugar into the body, the insulin level will increase. This will make sugar instead stored as fat instead of burning it into energy. From here, the blood sugar levels to rise. The higher the blood sugar levels then one's mental health is getting worse. The body will feel hungry, angry, depressed, and could not think clearly. Indeed, many studies linking, chocolate can reduce stress. However, it is good to pay attention to the levels of sugar in it. Instead, relieve stress; chocolate (rich in sugar) can actually exacerbate them.

Research and research, which proves that chocolate, has health benefits. Bioactive substances in the form of antioxidants are believed to be beneficial in terms of medical, psychological and consuming chocolate can cause a sense of comfort. Even so not to be deluded by the properties of this delicious sweet foods Nan. It is worth considering again or even more wisely choose chocolate products because it is not impossible that you will receive disadvantages than benefits expected from these foods. Brown emerged as a snack after a prominent medical journal in its latest edition states that the efficacy of chocolate is now widely "abused". For that, we need to be reconsidered. In the journal, Lancet reported that many chocolate manufacturers now actually remove the content of flavones because of the bitter taste. As a result, many chocolate products on the market today are dominated only fat and sugar only. Though both of these substances it is the enemy of the heart and blood vessels. Many studies have suggested that eating chocolate can reduce the risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure and relieve tired.

But according to an article written in the Journal Lancet, chocolate can actually deceptive. When the chocolate company to make confectionery, the natural cocoa solid material, which makes the colors, becomes blacker and flavones, which are bitter, removed it. Therefore, it looks dark chocolate can be no flavone. Consumers are always blinded by the flavone content of chocolate because manufacturers rarely give information about this update in the product, "wrote the Lancet. The Journal also noted that although the flavones contained in cocoa products, chocolate lovers must remain alert substances or other content. "The devil in the dark chocolate is the fat, sugar and calories contained in them. To get the properties for health, for which likes to eat dark chocolate in moderation should balance it by reducing the intake of other foods. This job is not easy even for a diligent in keeping the intake of calories, though, "said Lancet. In people with allergies and food intolerance chocolate is the main enemy. People with food allergies because chocolate is usually with the symptoms of frequent abdominal pain, sensitive skin, acne, headaches, migraines, asthma, persistent cough, difficulty defecate, and impaired concentration must be careful in consuming chocolate. Similarly, the behavioral disorders like Autism and ADHD and learning disorders chocolate should pay particular attention to avoid. Maybe the dark chocolate some people with allergies or intolerance can accept, but other forms of chocolate often cause prolonged complaints. This happens because in the processing of chocolate is also accompanied by various substances and other additives to make sense of bitterness. Sometimes it additional substance which causes an allergic reaction in people with allergies or intolerance.


But the study, conducted in Boston and has been published in the journal of the American Heart Association, 32 thousand respondents assess Swedish women aged between 48 and 83 years for nine years. Diet experts expressed eat chocolate too often, in fact, has an effect damaging and unhealthy for the body. The study also noted that one or two servings of chocolate, about 19 to 30 grams, per week could reduce the risk of heart failure by 30 percent. That figure dropped to 26 percent when a person just eats chocolate one to three times each month. However, those who ate chocolate every day even invisible decreased risk of heart problems at all. Researchers conclude the protective effect will be reduced if eating chocolate is less than or more than the optimum size, i.e. one or two servings a week.

Why too much chocolate is dangerous? Because chocolate contains high levels of sugar and fat that can trigger an increase in the weight of a person, according to the researchers. However, according to previous studies, chocolate also contains high concentrations of flavonoids in high levels can reduce blood pressure and protect against heart attacks, the researchers say this is the first time the long-term effects on heart failure revealed in the study. "You cannot ignore that chocolate is a high-calorie diet and habit of consuming large amounts may increase the risk of weight gain," said study leader and director of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Boston, Murray Mittleman.
