A biologist has revealed an interesting fact about one type of chocolate.
Dark chocolate lovers have a lower risk of developing diabetes.
Biologist Ancha Baranova spoke about this with reference to scientists from the USA and China, writes AiF .
Chocolate is usually considered a delicacy served with tea or coffee. But this product has at least one unexpected property.
Regular consumption of dark chocolate reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 20%.
Every 30 g of chocolate adds 3% to protection against diabetes, the expert said.
Scientists have found out what causes this effect. It's all about the cocoa powder from which the treat is prepared.
It contains antioxidants, which have a beneficial effect on the body, including reducing the risk of developing diabetes.
Milk chocolate is not so healthy. It has almost 6 times less useful substances. Therefore, this product should be considered only as a dessert.
White chocolate is completely devoid of nutrients. It does not reduce the risk of diabetes and can contribute to weight gain.
