Is Cocoa the New Red Wine?
Chocolate lovers can take heart in new research showing that cocoa has more health-protecting antioxidants than wine or green or black tea.
"On a per-serving basis, the antioxidant capacity in cocoa was almost two times stronger than red wine, two to three times stronger than green tea and four to five times stronger than black tea," scientist Chang Yong Lee told the AARP Bulletin. Lee and colleagues at Cornell University in New York and Seoul National University in Korea tested cocoa powder that did not contain sugar and other ingredients.
Lee suggests "a cup of hot cocoa in the morning, a cup of green tea in the afternoon and a glass of red wine in the evening [as] a good combination for the daily antioxidant intake."
Findings were reported in the December Issue 25 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
